cvs question
Are there any cvs guru's on the list? I had some files
that had previously been checked into cvs. There were
also some files in the same project which had not been
checked in ever.
I moved the source to a different machine where I had
set up a new repository. I edited the headers of the
files that had been checked in before, deleting the
expanded $ID$ information. I then proceeded to do a
standard ``cvs import`` of my project. I then checked
it out to see if all was well. The $Id$ keyword had
expanded w/ a revision number of 1.1.1.1 in all files,
indicating a CVS branch. Can anyone tell me why? I was
really expecting just 1.1 . Oh, I did try to import
this project before setting $CVSROOT, but the import
failed, and if cvs didn't know what root, how could
that have created extraneous revision info?
If this is not deemed appropriate for the list, please
direct me to some other list or newsgroup, or we can
discuss it "offline".
