Hi
I've managed to resurrect removed files from the trunk using the following
syntax:
cvs update -j1.3 -j1.2 <filename>
to undo the "remove".
This seems to move the file from the Attic back into the main directory ok.
But I can't get this technique to work for branches.
If I create a branch revision and then cvs remove the branch revision, the
,v file remains in the main directory (i.e. doesn't get moved the Attic, cos
it's still on the HEAD) - the only change is that the branch revision state
is changed to "Dead" (this appears as "FILE REMOVED" in ViewCVS).
I've found that I can resurrect this removed branch by editting the ,v file
directly and replacing the "Dead" state with "Exp".
Does anyone know if this is safe?
Or perhaps there's a better way?
Thanks in advance,
