Exporting file versions

[Jason Yeung]

I'm trying to use the export command to export files of a given revision, but am unsuccessful. The command and options I ran is "cvs export -r 1.2 -d testing testing123" and the error I get is "tag `1.2' must be a symbolic tag". If I create tags to represent the revisions and run and "cvs export -r ver12 -d testing testing123"  (ver12 represents all files in revision 1.2), it'll export OK.

 

Because my project has a lot of files, creating tags for each version of a file would be very tedious. I was wondering if there's a way to export files without creating tags? If you need tags to export, what would be the easiest way to create the tags without going through every file and create tags individually?

 

Thanks!
