I've got a small query and I can't find anything in the documentation,
so I was hoping one of the experts might be able to help...
I know it's correct to do a CVS export with a symbolic tag, like:
cvs export -r MY_TAG_1.1 helloworld.c
but what if I want a look at numeric version x.x of a file. Is there any
way that I can do this? i.e. export a file by a numberic Tag. The
documentation seems to say I can but it's not good practice, but when I
try I get the following:
cvs [export aborted]: tag `1.2' must be a symbolic tag
I'm using the following version of cvs:
--------------------------------------
%cvs -v
Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.10.7 (client/server)
Copyright (c) 1989-1998 Brian Berliner, david d `zoo' zuhn,
Jeff Polk, and other authors
------------------------------------------------------------
any help would be appreciated.
Thanks very much in advance,
Aidan McPeake
