A problem with tags vs. revisions |

Ignore the cvs _revision_ information, it is for CVS's use only. By changing
the cvs revision information you may run the risk of breaking assumptions
the cvs code has about things being on the 1.x revision set[2] and no those
assumptions are not documented any where. Use tags (symbolic names [3])for
the humans, i.e. if you want the set of files in a sand box versioned for
2.1
cvs tag VERSION_2_1
"""
Are tags embeddable in source via $keywords ?
I have code like this:
char strRevision[] = "$Revision: 13.80 $" ;
char strLocker[] = "$Locker: $" ;
char strCompilationDate[] = __DATE__ ;
char strCompilationTime[] = __TIME__ ;
... and this ...
bDevelopmentMajorFirmwareVersion = atoi( &strRevision[strlen("$Revision:
")] ) ;
// if this is a DEBUG build ...
#ifdef __DEBUG__
// ... major version is a negative number
bDevelopmentMajorFirmwareVersion = - bDevelopmentMajorFirmwareVersion ;
#endif
if( bDevelopmentMajorFirmwareVersion GT 9 ) {
pstrMinor = &strRevision[strlen("$Revision: xx.")] ;
} else {
pstrMinor = &strRevision[strlen("$Revision: x.")] ;
}
... So my code is version-aware at execution time, can communicate and
compare its major or minor version with other programs, etc.
Can you do that with tags?
