Hello Tony, Tuesday, July 27, 2004, 9:11:38 PM, you wrote: TH> Interestingly rtag updates this file and tag doesn't... not sure why TH> (probably needs fixing).

Nice shot! :) Simple test cvs co -l main cd main cvs tag dummy_tag dummy.txt cvs co -p -r dummy_tag main/dummy.txt gives cvs server: could not read RCS file for dummy.txt cvs [server aborted]: no such tag dummy_tag As I see by file access log, it scans _all_the_ files in repository before creates new val-tags file (not till first containing tag). And apparently doesn't add all found tags in val-tags, but only one needed for checkout (remember, it behaves the same for each new tag, and each tag becomes ok after checkout finally competes?) Our repository contains about 50,000 files. No wonder now why couple-of-files-chechout takes tens of minutes. Pity I can't check now whether traditional cvs exposes the same behaviour or not. Yesterday we shut it down to be sure it didn't interfere with cvsnt, and our admin comes lately :) Is there at least any way to rebuild val-tags fully, not tag by tag? -- Best regards, Iakov mailto:iglubokiy at infotecs.ru
