I was hoping I could actually delete the revisions en-masse so that they all went back to 1.1, but this should achieve the same result with some files set at 1.3. > HEAD will get you the latest revision on the "default" branch for a > file.

Ok, I think that's what happened. How does the cvs admin -b command work? I'd rtfm, but you just said it was undocumented. > You shouldn't really have to care.

If no sticky tag/branch is active in my working copy then when I do an update it gets out the default branch. If I then do a commit it will go back into the trunk, even if the trunk is not the default branch. That is very confusing. Also it means that all the changes that have happened in the default branch since it branched off the trunk get included in the new revision in the trunk. Surely both update & commit with no sticky tag or branch should both work on the default branch?
