No, it has been simply stated on at least 3 occasions ``cvs admin'' is to be used _ONLY_ by repository managers. There is no reason for you to use this, and as Peter explains you could really screw someone over, or infact the repository itself by your actions. > > > I will also presume that he knows that I can now find his commit in > > the commitlogs but can not find it in the RCS files :-(. > > Yes, but it's *very* obvious what happened, since the next commit > message in the log is the fix which was mentioned in the previous (no > longer necessary) commitlog messages. It is not obvious what happened when trying to look at this 6 months from now and understand the descrepancy between the cvs commitlog files and the rcs loginfo for the file.

NO, it is just plain stupid for you to have done this, please do not due it again. A commit would have done the job, not involved any possible race conditions and clearly docuemented the sequence of events. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD
