You did not need it at all! :-) CVS will take care of it automatically. It's fine to see 1.1 in a branch (and a branch of of a branch and so on), it just says you the file in that branch was never changed since it was taken from the trunk. As soon as you change it in the branch, CVS will update the revision number accordingly - don't use revision number to check if a file in on a branch or not - that's not their meaning. Use cvs status command to get that information. For example that's a file of mine: File: engine.dpr Status: Up-to-date Working revision: 1.4 Repository revision: 1.4 /sources/Engine/src/engine.dpr,v Expansion option: kv Commit Identifier: 18904847c1777b17 Sticky Tag: B_VEGA_3_0 (branch: 1.4.2) Sticky Date: (none) Sticky Options: (none) Merge From: (none) See that although file has revision 1.4, it's on a branch, the line "Sticky Tag: B_VEGA_3_0 (branch: 1.4.2)" says so. The branch was created whe the file was at revision 1.4, and the file was never changed since then. > cvs commit: nothing known about `*Product_1_branch*' > cvs [commit aborted]: correct above errors first! Look at the error, it can't understand what "Product_1_branch" is? What is it? A directory? A file? -- Luigi D: Sandon
