Dear CVS guru's (and freebsd types CC'd),
By changing the following change:
(big isn't it?)
the following becomes possible:
cvs checkout -rMY_BRANCH -D"7 days ago" my-module
also
cvs update -rMY_BRANCH -D"May 1" my-module
is also allowable..
this seems useful to me
In fact I desperatly need this..
does anyone know if tis is a reasonable thing to do, (or not?)
if you are one of the maintainers I'd definitly like to hear from you,
as if I don't I'll add this change to the FreeBSD CVS mirror,
as we use many branches and not being able to check
them out to a past date is a real pain..
better methods are of course just as welcome,
e.g. "-rMY_BRANCH:May 1" would work just as well for me.
