In order to suggest a solution to the guy who really wants to bump the revisions of his files by incrementing the major digit I tested the cvs co -r <rev> command to see what would happen. I did it from within WinCvs and the result is somewhat surprising: cvs -z9 commit -m "testing revision forcing" -r 2.1 ModuleYYdoc.txt (in directory F:\Engineering\Projects\Bosse\ModuleYY\) Checking in ModuleYYdoc.txt; cvs [server aborted]: revision `2.1' does not exist Of course revision 2.1 does not exist, I am trying to commit a file that will get that revision afterwards. So what does this error message mean and wht should I have done instead? I know that it is possible to force a new revision of a file and to increment the major digit but the only command I found that could possibly do it is the cvs commit... Why is this error displayed?
