can emacs 21.3 cvs handle revisions ?

[mak kwak]

Hallo group members!
My concern is about revisions.
When I'm invoking cvs-update to get cvs tree under my emacs, it asks me for module name to get and destination directory.
It does not mention anything about revision name (value after `-r' in command line cvs command).
Does it mean that cvs front end for emacs does not support revisions ?

Greetings

Mak,

use C-u M-x cvs-update
or C-u C-u M-x cvs-update,
both will ask for aditional parameters to the pcl-cvs command.
C-u C-u will automatically use them for the next plain pcl-cvs 
command, C-u won't.

BTW,
you might be better using tags rather than revision numbers.
Revision numbers are simply a count of how often the file
has been modified. Tags record the revision numbers of each file
at a given time; the revision numbers are normally totally different.
The CVS online manual will explain this in greater detail.


HTH,
