Hi All
We're new to CVS and we need to merge trunk changes to a branch from time to time.
We are not sure how the -j option is used for the 1st merge from trunk to branch.
We are also unsure how the multiple -j options are used for subsequent merges from trunk to the same branch.
What's the syntax to merge back from a long lived branch to the trunk?
Could someone share an example including use of tags to do a proper merge from
a) trunk to branch
b) trunk to branch again
c) branch to trunk (assuming code completion)
