Hello there,
I want to use "cvs rtag -D" to create a tag based by a certain date.
Example:
cvs rtag -D '2008-12-01 10:00' branch_name module_name
Unfortunately that does not tag files that have been removed in HEAD
revision. Nevertheless, those files _did_ exist at the time in the -D
option and were still available in the attic.
Strangely enough, those "untaggable" files can be checked out using the
same -D option with command "checkout":
cvs co -D '2008-12-01 10:00' module_name
I wonder why "rtag -D" does not work as I expect it to since it seems to
me that it should work, which means that I'm either misunderstanding
something basic or that something else is wrong.
Thanks.
Daniel
PS: using cvs version 1.12.13
