Thank you for the insight into theory, however the practical results are annoying. For example, running mergemaster has become a nightmare. It considers every file to be changed (unless you do some black magic with DIFF_OPTIONS to ignore \$FreeBSD:.*\$). BTW what does cvsup (in CVS mode) do with an RCS file to which only a branch tag has been added? How does it mirror such a change? Just curious. -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN sip:sudakov@sibptus.tomsk.ru
