Ok...
I was playing around branching...
i created a folder cvs_test. and a java file called
test.java in it
executed following cmd
cvs tag -b rel-1-0-patches
(So i created a branch called rel-1-0-patches)Correct
me if Im wrong!
did :
cvs update -r rel-1-0-patches
when i do cvs update on test.java it tells me im on
branch 1.2.2. Thats fine..
now i make changes..1.2.3 , 1.2.4 in branch and commit
it.
Now if I want to work on same file, test.java which is
on main trunk.. how do i do that?
how do i switch to main trunk and start working on
that file...
thanks
