Arthur, I'm running a patched version of 1.11, I didn't want to upgrade to 1.12 for various reasons. The patch is essentially the same except for the CVS_LOCAL_BRANCH_NUM stuff, although the code could be made a bit simpler for 1.11, as the whole bit about putting things into the list, sorting the list and taking the highest value could be replaced by a simple "max value tracker" integer. I did it with the list because I wanted essentially the same code for 1.11 and 1.12. If cvsnt has the CVS_LOCAL_BRANCH_NUM feature then before you use the patch you have to decide how you want to resolve the question of what should the next free magic branch number be in the case of a repo that has branches that were created with CVS_LOCAL_BRANCH_NUM set, but it's not set currently. An unpatched cvs 1.12 would ignore the branches that had been created with a CVS_LOCAL_BRANCH_NUM value, one with the current patch would choose the highest unused value. There's some question as to which is correct. If the old behavior is what you want, then the sort should be done in reverse order, then you start at the top of the list and look for the first gap, add two and that's the new magic branch tag number. -Kelly > -----Original Message----- > From: Arthur Barrett [mailto:arthur.barrett at march-hare.com] > Sent: Saturday, January 13, 2007 2:50 AM > To: Kelly F.
