Re: logs of revisions since release

[Colm Murphy]

Hi Larry,

It looks like I have mis-understood the purpose of cvs log.

That said I still have a problem with its operation.

Say I have a directory with two files: file1 and file2.
file1 contains MyTag and file2 does not.

"cvs rlog -rMyTag:: directory"

returns the RCS logs for file1 since MyTag along with all of the RCS 
logs for file2 with a warning that file2 doesn't contain the tag MyTag.

I would expect that if a file doesn't contain the tag then no RCS logs 
are returned.

I am using CVS 1.11.1p1 on Solaris 2.6.
I have also tried downloading the latest CVS sources but they have the 
same behaviour.

Basically it looks like I am seeing the same behaviour as Chuck.
