Here is an interesting one:
cvs up -r HEAD updates you to HEAD of main trunk
cvs rdiff -r HEAD ... rdiffs to HEAD of main trunk
HOWEVER
cvs diff -r HEAD diffs to HEAD of trunk OR head of branch - based on
what yor sandbox is checked out on. Not really good if I am on a
branch and want to compare against HEAD of trunk :-)
Is this a known behaviour? It does not appear to be documented to
work as such (actually, docs would lead you to believe what you think
it should do - diffs to HEAD of trunk ONLY.)
Is there a hidden keyword I am unaware of (BRANCHHEAD, TRUNKHEAD,
etc.) or would it be possible in future version to add these CVS-
maintained tags (BRANCHHEAD, TRUNKHEAD)?
