Hi,
Given a <repository>, <module>, and <tag> is there a polite way to ask
CVS if the combination exists, without actually checking it out, that
would work in a make file. I.e. the command should fail if one of the
three supplied parameters are incorrect, but succeed otherwise.
Currently I am using this construct in a make file, which works, but
seems rather brutish.
cvs -d <repository> -r checkout -p -r <tag> <module>
If the repository/tag/module is wrong it does fail, but if it is ok
you get a large amount of stuff spewed to the screen. Redirecting
outout to a file helps a bit. I couldn't find anything appropriate in
cvs status or cvs log.
