Thanks Gerhard and Khalid for your perfectly reasonable suggestions. It turns out cvs does have just the option I was looking for. This command (with -f option): $ cvs update -dPf -r DRUPAL-4-7 Will use the DRUPAL-4-7 branch where available, and HEAD otherwise. This appeals to me because I don't have to spend time figuring out which modules have branched and which haven't. -Dave On Sunday 30 April 2006 13:57, Dave Cohen wrote:
Now that Drupal has the DRUPAL-4-7 tag, I want to go into drupal/ and run:
$ cvs update -dP -r DRUPAL-4-7
The trouble is, this deletes the ecommerce module, and any other module I've checked out that does not have the DRUPAL-4-7 branch.
I'm no CVS expert. Is there a trick to get it to use the DRUPAL-4-7 tag only where it exists, and the HEAD tag otherwise?
