Deploying only a specific revision of a given file

[Gaurav Chhabra]

Hi,


We are using CVSNT 2.5.03 server for version control. All developers have
access to CVS repository only through NetBeans IDE. 

I have tagged the code (Tag Name: project_sit1) for the first time after SIT
was completed. The development work has to keep going but I don’t want to
disturb the existing code that has been tagged.

Query 1: 
Is branching the only solution for my problem or will the existing tag
(project_sit1) help me in preventing any code mess-up?

-----------------------------------------------

We have been using CM Synergy for other projects. If we baseline a release
and create two release branches (release_1 & release_2) from that baseline,
then in that case we have separate copies of all the files (that were
present in baselined release) in these two releases. Now, if a file
test.java is modified in release_1 and has to be deployed then that’s not a
problem.

Now if we consider CVS, I think a branching doesn’t lead to the creation of
a new file as is the case with CM Synergy. In CVS, all the information about
the branch is present in the existing file itself. 

Query 2: 
Now if we have a file test.java (version 1.1 & 1.1.1.1 for branch) in CVS
which also has a branch associated with it, then how do we deploy the
contents of only the branched part i.e., 1.1.1.1? 

I am confused because the contents of the branch revision (1.1.1.1) as well
as the main revision (1.1) are all in one file. How can we get only the
desired code for deployment? 


Regards,
Gaurav
