	I've had a lot of problems with that with merging in CVS.  It's best 
to just do that in the revision control system, but in the build.

	I put this script in a few of my projects and put the output in my 
builds:

#!/bin/sh

# Start with the latest patch
base=`tla logs -f | tail -1`

# Find out how many changes there are that are not build number changes
changes=""
changen=`tla changes | egrep -v "^\*|etc/build.number" | wc -l`

# Figure out if we have uncommitted changes
if [ $changen -gt 0 ]
then
        changes=" (plus uncommited changes)"
fi
echo "$base$changes"


        -- for example:

dustinti:~/prog/spyjar 111% java -jar spy.jar
spy.jar build 412 on Tue Mar 16 23:19:00 PST 2004
Build platform:  java 1.4.2_03 from Apple Computer, Inc. on Mac OS X 
version 10.3.3
Tree version:  address@hidden/spyjar--head--1.0--patch-10

	That's all of the information required to completely reconstruct that 
build.  Individual file information won't help.
