The documentation implies that the -F option to tag will move the tag
to a
different version of a file:
`cvs tag' will not move a tag that already exists.
With the -F option, however, `cvs tag' will re-locate
any instance of symbolic_tag that already exists on
that file to the new repository versions. Without the
-F option, attempting to use `cvs tag' to apply a tag
that already exists on that file will produce an error
message.
However, that doesn't seem to work for me:
% cvs tag -F dq saa1.pf saa1.site
cvs tag: saa1.pf: Not moving branch tag `dq' from 1.1.1.1 to 1.3.
cvs tag: saa1.site: Not moving branch tag `dq' from 1.1.1.1 to 1.3.
% cvs --version
Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.2 (client/server)
What am I doing wrong? Is there a way to re-tag some files so that
the tag corresponds to a later revision?
Thanks,
