'cvs tag' tags whatever you have in your sandbox. If the files in your sandbox are on a branch, that's what gets tagged. > I tried using the former method, but when I checked a ',v' file in the > repository I couldn't see anything that related the branch tag to the > branch. I don't know what the ,v files are supposed to contain, but I've tagged files on branches successfully. > The new tag's ID was 1.13, but the branch was 1.13.0.2; I somehow > expected the new tag to have an ID related to the branch number > (1.13.0.2.1 or something). Note that when you check out the tag that you created this way, your files will /not/ be on a branch; they will be on a tag. But they will contain the contents the files had that were on the branch when you tagged them. Gerhard
