[cvsnt] discard garbage revisions and create new 'latest' based onold tag.

[Bo Berglund]

This is very easy for you since you do have a tag to go against. :-)
Basically you use the update with merge command as follows:

cvs update -j BranchName -j OldTagname

then of course:

cvs commit -m"Reverted code to tag OldTagName"

Subject: [cvsnt] discard garbage revisions and create new 'latest' based
onold tag.


hi,
a user here commited some garbage code all over his branch and
now he wants to get his branch back to a point marked by a tag he 
created previuosly.
he wants to discard all the garbage code revisions and have a new 
'latest' based on that tag.
any ideas / suggestions on how to acheive that ?

  (Tag)                         -latest-
-[good]->[garbage]->[garbage]->

the need is to 'put' [good] after the last [garbage] for many files.

thanks,
Assaf
