CVS Tag (was Re: [Twisted-Python] PATCH: doc/historic/index.html reality link)

I think that patch I sent in may have had line-wrap problems... I updated and the link to the reality doc is still off by one.
Hmm, I did an update on a separate machine and it looks ok from here:
This is version 1.5 of doc/historic/index.html .. is that the same version you're seeing?
puzzled, -Brian
Wow, I am really glad I looked in to this.... Looks like my cvs copy was set to use a tag from 2 weeks ago (June 10? -- D2003.06.10.04.00.00) Not sure how it got that way (bit of a cvs newbie :o) I used cvs update -r HEAD -d -P and now when I look in the CVS/Tag files it shows NHEAD Is that the correct one? Can I now just cvs update -d -P to continue getting the latest revisions? Thanks for your time. _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?

That's what I use. When I check out a tree, I just do: cvs -d ... checkout Twisted and then when I update, I do: cvs -z6 update -dP . (the -z6 turns on compression, to conserve the limited upstream bandwidth of our CVS server. Apart from that it's identical to your command). It is conceivable (but I haven't been able to prove it) that updating with -rHEAD sets some kind of sticky date which would effectively disable later updates. In general, if I've been using tags and want to get rid of them, I do: cvs -z6 update -A -dP . which clears all sticky tags, both symbolic and date. When I *do* use branch tags, I usually create a new tree which is exclusively for that particular branch. If I keep switching back and forth between branches, eventually I forget and then have to wonder where my changes are going. Finally, trees that have been checked out with date tags are effectively read-only, since you can't check anything into them. The most you can do is to create a patch from it and then apply that patch to a non-date-locked tree. cheers, -Brian
