The CVS docs are maddeningly vague about this... I thought it was the latter, but I just did a bit of testing, and the result of using -rHEAD is different depending on which command you use. . . . * "cvs update -rHEAD src/xfaces.c" _changes_ the sticky tag from the file to be "HEAD", and updates it to be the latest revision on _the trunk_. It's even worse than that. If you edit src/xfaces.c, you'll find you can't commit the change; you must first do "cvs update -A src/xfaces.c" to get it fully back onto the trunk. If you look at emacs/CVS/Entries, you'll notice that "trunk" is denoted by the absence of a tag (field between the last two slashes), not an explicit "HEAD". IMHO, "-rHEAD" is strictly to be avoided. -- Bob Rogers http://rgrjr.dyndns.org/
