Bug or interpretation? |

Hello,
I really don't know if this qualifies as a bug or if I'm reading the INFO
files wrong but I'll lay it out and see what comes of it. I'm using
cvs-1.11.1p1-7.i386.rpm from RedHat 7.3.
Originally, I made the assumption that 'cvs tag' would use the top most
revision in the tree rather than the revision which was locally present. In
order to combat that, I wrote a script (quite a while ago) which I found out
wasn't doing what I wanted it to do. Because it was ultra low priority, I only
got to it today. Basically what I was trying to do was gaurantee that the
command would use the locally held version.
To make a long story short:
cvs tag -r BASE <randomchars> filename
doesn't accomplish what I would otherwise expect it to do. In reding the INFO
file, I was left with the impression that the above command would gaurantee the
tag was placed on the revision currently on the system. It doesn't seem to
matter what I put in for <randomchars> it never comes back with the
anticipated:
T filename
In fact, all I get is a prompt back.
Therein lies the question, did I misread/misinterpret the INFO file to
believe that the above would work or is the code broken?
Thanks,
Michael
