The method to backtrack is the same method used to merge in changes from a different location. If you are using the command line, pass two -j parameters, the first being the revision *after* the changes, and the second being the revision *before* the changes. In the end, though, you will get the same effect as the method you used, although this is less likely to upset other changes done since then. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Urlwin" <jurlwin at esoftmatic.com> To: <cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook> Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2003 9:47 AM Subject: [cvsnt] How to go backwards in revisions -- easiest way? Hi, This feels like a stupid question, since it seems it should be obvious and I'll probably say "Doh" when I get the answer, but... I simply wanted to move back a revision and start again, after making a mistake. I knew the revision as of yesterday was good, so I ended up checking out with a sticky tag on the date. From there, though, I couldn't check back in because of the sticky tag. I received an error message from the server. What I ended up doing was copying all the files to another directory, checking out without the sticky tag (sticky tag reset), copying the files back in and forcing a check in. That seems like a hard way to do the work. I suppose I could have administratively deleted revisions, but that would have taken a fair amount of time, going through the files changed one by one. So, my question is: is there an easier way to 'revert' to an earlier version to avoid a problem? Note (if it makes a difference), we have 3 developers and are all working off the main trunk. We typically don't setup a development branch unless we are supporting an older version, while new work is in progress.
