Hi,
LS| How does one remove the latest revision of an "older" file to pick
LS| up the "newer" files
LS|
LS|
LS| ex. 1.16 "older" file
LS| 1.15 "updated" file
you can do this with cvs admin somehow, but saver, and more 'correct' from
the SCM point of view, is to checkout the older file and commit it newly.
------
$ cvs status foo.txt
[..] revision 1.16
# overwrite foo.txt with the
$ cvs update -p -r1.15 foo.txt > foo.txt
$ cvs commit foo.txt
[..] revision 1.17
-----
this checks out rev 1.15 to stdout, used to overwrite the 1.16 based
working revision, that becomes 1.17, then.
ciao,
