This causes file1 to appear on Branch2 in its rev 1.1 state. At some point during the merge the connection to Branch2 is done, and it's added to rev 1.2. So CVS know at this point that it is a deleted file, not a non-existant file. > If you do an rtag at the 4th step instead of tag you'll get a > different result (possibly what you wanted). What does rtag do differently from tag? I can't find anything in the wiki other than a parameter list. Does anyone know how to make WinCVS use rtag instead of tag?
