Originally I was thinking only highwater marks.
But I guess something like a .newsrc style range/set would work. (Ok, what
IS that data structure properly called?)
But consider the following sequence:
branch at 1.1. Branch has 1.1.0.1 and 1.1.0.2.
1.1.0.3 is made, and that particular change is needed immediately on the
branch branch, so only it is moved over. So 1.2 == 1.1 + 1.1.0.3.
Changes 1.1.0.4 and 1.1.0.5 are made. Now we want to migrate all of those
changes onto the main branch.
So now we have to be able to tell cvs to:
diff -r1.1 -r1.1.0.2, apply patch
diff -r1.1.0.3 -r1.1.0.5, apply patch
