If you are comparing renamed files it is generally best to use the tag rather than the revision number. This works in TCVS too. This definitely works in 2.5.04. The problem with revision numbers in CVSNT renames is that the directory has a different revision number to each of the files in the directory, so we have to find the directory revision by using the date of the file revision that introduced the new name. Hence if you performed the above test where each revision was created on different days eg: 1.3 was created the day after revision 1.2; then you could get a different result (though again regardless 1.3 should pick up the right name just as revision 1.2 does). EVSCM does not have this problem because the directory revision umber and the file revision number are identical. Regards, Arthur Barrett
