Re: Branches in CVS repository?



Fair enough - if I am the only one who thinks that these dates would be helpful then I am not going to insist on them.

Yes, agreed, the date is very helpful (it should be YYYYMMDD). It's especially helpful when identifying exact branch and merge points - the nature of cvs is such that "cvs log" is not exact. Besides, there's nothing to stop the person cutting the branch from using "cvs admin" to create a shorter alias for the currently active longer tag.
