Suppose I have a mainline and a branch. I want to tag the branch and
the mainline without having a working copy of the one I'm interested
in tagging. The rtag command works for tagging the mainline as it
acts on the repository; however, if I want to tag the branch, is
there an option I can pass to rtag?
The point of this is to be able to tag the branch from the mainline
after doing a merge, and vice versa. This would be in order to
support multiple merges with cvs update -j last-merge-point -j branch-
name or -j HEAD.
Since after I merge from the branch to the trunk, I want to tag the
branch with the last-merge-point, cvs rtag doesn't capture the info I
need. I have to enter cvs update -r branch-name, execute cvs tag,
and then execute cvs update -A to return to the mainline.
I'm trying to put these operations in scripts (using msg 9710's
recipe - credit to peter wolfe/maeve kennedy ), and so want to
simplify the process if possible.
