I feel I am misled by the cederqvist. On one hand, in Section A.10.2.1 of the 1.12.12 manual, it says "You can commit to a branch revision with the -r option." On the other hand, in Section A.10.1 under "-r revision" it says "You cannot commit to a specific revision on a branch." Do I misunderstand it or is this a very serious bug in the cederqvist?

I haven't checked in detail, but I suspect the answer is: You have to distinguish between a "specific revision" and a "branch revision".

If the tag 'branch-tag' is a branch, referring to branh 1.2.2, then you can 'cvs ci -r branch-tag' but you cannot 'cvs ci -r 1.2.2.1'.

At least, that's what I suspect the difference is.
