RE: branch-naming

[Gianni Mariani]

Matt,

cvs tag -b <NAME> creates a new branch - not an alias.

You want to create tags that have the same revisions as the branch tags.

You can use rcs commands to do just that. (or cvs admin as Andy pointed out)

        cvs admin -nNEWTAG:OLDTAG

Will create a synonym of OLDTAG, not a new branch.

Am I missing something? Why wouldn't double tagging do what you want?
