* From: John Polstra <jdp@polstra.com> * When we do repository copies, we always remove the tags from the new * copies of the files. If we didn't do that, it would in effect * change what already happened in the past. Suppose we copied foo,v * to bar,v, and foo,v originally had the tags you listed above. We * would remove those tags from bar,v. Otherwise, if you checked out * the tree using "-r release_2_2_5" it would appear that file "bar" * existed at that time -- which it didn't. * * By removing the tags, we avoid changing the past. If you checkout * with "-r release_2_2_5" then you'll get file "foo" but not file "bar" * -- just the same as if there had been no repository copy at all. We understand that, but is it possible to delete the tags from the ones in the Attic instead? I know you don't want to change the past, but these aren't RELENG_* tags so it shouldn't matter too much in terms of correctness. The reason I ask is so that people can have *one* location where we can do a "cvs update -rrelease_X_Y_Z" to get the release versions of all the manpages. If the files are moved to a new location, they'll have to do it in doc/ja for X_Y_Z <= 3_2_0 and doc/ja_JP.eucJP for X_Y_Z > 3_2_0. Unless there is a CVS-y reason why this doesn't work, of course. (My expertise doesn't involve much in terms of tags. ;) Satoshi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
