You should NEVER EVER interfere with the file revision numbers! These are really internal CVS data to keep track of the changes of files. You have no sensible way of using these and so you should not try to set them either. That is also why CVSNT has removed support for changing them like you tried to do in recent versions. The capability still exists in GNU CVS by what I understand, but it is no less of a danger there. Furthermore, revision numbers with zeros are *for special cvs use only*!!! They are so called nagic revisions and are used by cvs to keep track of things like branches etc. Never to be used by the cvs user.... /Bo -----Original Message----- From: cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org [mailto:cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org]On Behalf Of Remo Liechti Sent: den 2 november 2005 08:36 To: cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook Subject: [cvsnt] Assigning revision Hi there I'm using WinCVS. Now I got a file with the revision number 1.36, and I need to change only this file to 2.0. In a CVS book I read that this is possible using: cvs -r commit -m myMessage -r 2.0 -- "MyDocument" If I do so, I got the error: cvs commit: warning: unrecognized response `cvs server: invalid option -- r' from cvs server Seems like cvsNT does not support the forcing of a revision no more. What to do?
