RE: checkout a old version file to cover the new one

Hi xiangbin

You can specify -r with cvs up command and specify the version you want.
Eg

Cvs up -C -r 1.1.1.1 main.c

-C will create a backup of your locally modified file and overwrite it
with the required version.

Subject: checkout a old version file to cover the new one

Hi,
I am new user to CVS. When I work with the newest version, I
suddenly found I need the old version of a file, say,main.c of version
1.1.1.1 .I know that I can checkout the whole version of 1.1.1.1 in
another
directory,then copy....But,if there is any way to achieve this just by
checkout the old file and cover the local one ?

Thanks
xiangbin
