The -r and -D options are mutually exclusive, and the sticky tags applied by checking out with -r come "unstuck" if you do an update with -D. I was trying to do this last night, to get a RELENG_2_2 kernel source tree in sync with an old machine. I ended up throwing it in and digging up the MO with the release we used on it, but that's not really acceptable for future work. CD burner ho! (I understand that CVS can't actually manage this. Maybe you could trick CVSup into doing it?) -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
