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.
