The CVSNT server has made many extensions to the format. The client never needs to know this though, since the clients never deal directly with RCS. > - What role does the "_H_" play in CVSNT? It's used mostly server-side to handle directory versioning... it exists for a fraction of a second between two operations (predirectory and directory callbacks). The client also uses it in some circumstances but for much less. It does not exist on files and is never written to the RCS files, and is never sent over the protocol. > It is obviously there in the source (since 2.0.43), but I have not > understood what role it plays.

The only thing that can add a tag really is cvs tag, which is validated no both client and server sides (and maybe import). Clearly hand-editing the RCS files could do it. TOny
