>Description:
Sometimes it is useful to see what has changed from some tag to what is
currently
checked out. This would be easy with a command like "cvs log -rSOME_TAG::BASE",
but "BASE" does not work with cvs log. (I am guessing it is sent to the server
which
knows nothing about it.)
This is only needed when looked at a set of files. For a single file, it is
easy to
enter the correct revision numbers manually.
>How-To-Repeat:
$ export CVSROOT=:pserver:guest@cvs.cvshome.org:/cvs
$ cvs co -r1.143 ccvs/configure.in
$ cvs log -rcvs1-11-1::BASE
cvs server: warning: no revision `BASE' in `/cvs/ccvs/configure.in,v'
[all revisions shown]
$ cvs -v
Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.2.1 (client/server)
[...]
>Fix:
A workaround is to parse CVS/Entries with a script and use that info to trim
a "cvs log -rSOME_TAG::" command.
