Hi all,
I have a repository - that is, a subdirectory of $CVSROOT - which has a number
of subdirectories.
For one of these subdirectories I have created a branch, and in my sandbox have
checked out that branch. So in my sandbox I have the main trunk except for one
directory, which is sticky on a branch.
What happens if I "cvs tag" the entire sandbox?
Can I do an export on that tag, and get exactly what I currently see in the
sandbox, including the branched directory?
What happens if I do a checkout (!!) on that tag?
Some background, of you like: I have some legacy code from before we started
with CVS that only applies to one directory, so I've put it in a branch (with
the intention of never, ever merging from that branch). Now I need to make a
release to a site that is not ready to move on from that legacy code. So I
want to make a "release tag" and do an export.
If I have cvs'd myself into a corner, suggestions for what I *should* have done
will be greatfully received...
[cvs 1.11.12; Red Hat 7.1]
