[cvsnt] commit with -r option [ Vírusmentes]

[Daniel Lapolla]

Thanks Tony and Bo,

We use that approach because of our branch policy (branch by change 
request).

We cannot update the entire directory to a branch because developers 
often work with mixed working copies (two or more branches checked out 
in the same dir).

Until we have add -r, how can I handle this situation? What server 
version you recommend for me to downgrade?

Another doubt:

The description you gave sounds like CVSNT branching model will be 
closer to subversion's model. Am I correct?

What you said can be restated as something like: "it only makes sense to 
put a new file in a branch if the branch is the directory itself"? 
Because adding a new file means changing the directory file list.

How CVSNT will manage directory revisions? I'm thinking that there is 
some kind of "impedance mismatch" between CVS branching model and the 
control of directory revisions.

Thanks again

Daniel
