Since export requires either a tag or a date:
src/checkout.c
line 69 (export usage message)
the line:
"Usage: %s %s [-NRfln] [-r rev] [-D date] [-d dir] [-k kopt] module...\n",
should read:
(a) "Usage: %s %s [-NRfln] [-r tag | -D date] [-d dir] [-k kopt]
module...\n",
or (gack!):
(b) "Usage: %s %s [-NRfln] -r tag | -D date [-d dir] [-k kopt]
module...\n",
See the diff usage message for something like (a) above. It is not quite
perfect since it seems to imply that a tag or date is not required, only
mutually exclusive. The second example (b) could be misinterpreted as a
pipe, however. I'm not sure what the proper usage message syntax would be.
In the lines after that,
" -r rev Export revision or tag."
Is incorrect because export will not accept a numeric revision, only a
tag.
It should be:
" -r tag Export a tag."
or:
" -r tag Export revisions with a symbolic tag."
or possibly:
" -r tag Export a tag. Either '-D date' or '-r tag' must be specified."
