Hi folks-
I'm new to the list, so I apologize if this has been asked. I perused the
last few months of
archived messages, but couldn't find the FAQ referred to on
http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs.
Anyway, here's what I'd like to be able to do. I want to have the equivalent
functionality of a
tag, but without actually writing to the repository. That is, I want to record
the state of the
revisions of all the files in my working directory so that I can revert to that
state at a later
time. But I don't want to modify the repository itself, for a couple of reasons:
1) The repository is shared by a large community, and the owners don't like the
prospect of having a
user (much less *many* users) creating more than one or two tags a year.
2) The functionality needs to be available from a shared testing account that
has read-only anonymous
access to the repository.
Now, the straightforward solution would be to write a script, or a pair of
scripts, that does a "cvs
status", and parses the output and writes it out in a condensed form, and
another that reads this
condensed form and pulls out all the specified file revisions. However, before
I go reinventing the
wheel, I'd like to know if there exists such a tool already, possibly with more
bells and whistles
than I was planning to implement. Thanks in advance for any information you can
provide.
