Jeffrey, before I answer let me say that removing revisions in the way you intend is not recommended practice. The whole point of version control is to be able to trace ALL changes to the source code. If you remove the revisions or complete modules in the way described below, they are lost forever and there is no going back. Just be aware of this, before you proceed. > We have a number of old revisions of a file that we would like to remove from the > repository. What is the best way to do this. IE remove all revisions that do not > have a tag assigned. If you're using WinCvs you could conveniently do this using the Graph Selection command. Just select the file and invoke Graph. In the resulting tree view do a right click and choose "Select non significant" from the context menu. This will select all untagged revisions. Then right click again and choose "Admin options|Delete revisions...". Without WinCvs, the command to remove revisions is cvs admin -o. You could read up on the syntax in the Cederqvist: http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_16.html#SEC120 . Note that you'll need admin status on the CVS repository to do either of the above. > Also, is deleting a module directory from the repository using the file system the > best way to remove an entire module? Can't say if it's the best way, but it's surely the most efficient and quick way I know. > I tried the cvs release –d module command, however the module did not get removed > from the repository. Yes, because that's not what release is intended for. Read here: http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_16.html#SEC119 Hope this helps.
