There are a few questions I couldn't find in the CVS manual and I was wondering if someone on this list might be able to assist me. Our Configuration Management group just recently picked up a group of developers who use CVS and it's put me in a bit of a bind since none of our team members have experience with CVS. 1.) In regards to version control would it make more sense to do which of the following (1a or 1b), or something not mentioned (1c??)? 1a.) Have a build tag that the build environment builds from (e.g. a tag named "Version200Beta1") while the development team continues to make changes in the Main Trunk and then move the "Version200Beta1" tag forward when the developers have stabilized their code? 1b.) Have the development team work from a development branch (and possibly Feature branches) where they can merge changes back into the Main Trunk and the build environment will pull from the tip of the Main Trunk? 2.) Can you perform a get from a Tag and then turn around and create a new Tag based on the files you picked up off the Tag you originally used? Example: Your build system pulls from the "Version200Beta1" tag and you wish to create a new tag named "SCN_ENU_BLD166" and apply that to the files your build system is currently using (which was from the "Version200Beta1" tag). It seemed like this was possible since the tag is based off the files you have locally, correct? Any assistance or documentation you could provide would be appreciated.
