Creating a branch means the following: 1) Tag with the -b flag. The branch tag name is something like Branch_MyTest or similar 2) Update to the branch tag (cvs update -r Branch_MyTest) 3) Edit some files in the sandbox 4) Commit the edits It is not until step 4 that any of the files in the branch will change revision number. Until then they will keep their old revisions. After the commit there will be two new numbers added to the revision to reflect the branch revision. The number of decimal points on any file is always odd (1 for files on trunk, 3 for files committed on the first level branch, 5 for files committed to a branch off of a branch etc): 1.11 1.11.1.2 1.11.1.6.1.2 etc HTH Best regards, Bo Berglund -----Original Message----- From: cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org [mailto:cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org] On Behalf Of Thomas Singer Sent: den 16 mars 2006 09:10 Cc: cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook Subject: Re: [cvsnt] Re: Branch "1" I just got the information from a client, that they created a branch (parent branch of the normal main-trunk revisions 1.1, 1.2, ...) with the revision "1" somehow and now wanted to get to know, whether this is as-designed or by abusing a possible bug in CVS(NT).
