Re: cvs log -rtag_at_base_of_branch::tag_on_branch fails

[Veda Larson Palmer]

Hi Larry,

Thanks for your quick response.

As far as I can tell, both our client and server are at 1.11.2:

% cvs version
Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.2 (client/server)

I get the same behavior in both local and pserver mode.
On our pserver host,

% grep cvs /etc/inetd.conf
cvspserver stream tcp nowait acl /usr/bin/cvs cvs -f --allow-root=/pgrd/ljdev/cv
sroot pserver
% /usr/bin/cvs version
Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.2 (client/server)

Interestingly, the same revision pair works with cvs diff/rdiff -rv1_0 -rv1_1
(but the output of diff doesn't make very nice release notes ;).

Are you unable to reproduce this behavior in cvs log with your 1.11.2
installation?

Thanks,
-Veda

Upgrade your server to CVS 1.11.2.  For future reference, "cvs version"
will give you both the client and server version numbers.
