RE: Branch Labels and Version Lables

[Risman, Mark]

Juergen,

If you run "cvs tag -d" on your files, and don't use the "-B" option it should 
remove the non-branch tags and leave the branch tags.

I tried this in version 1.11.17. You can verify that this behavior applies to 
your version by running "cvs -H tag" and reading what it says for the "-B" 
option.

Hi Jürgen,

Here's a really slow way:

    $ find . \( -type d -a -name 'CVS' -prune \) -o \( -type f -print \) |
    >   while read fpath; do
    >       if cvs status -v "$fpath" | grep -q Versionlabel_x; then
    >           printf '%s\n' "$fpath";
    >       fi;
    >   done

That invokes a separate 'cvs status' command for each file in the
working directory, and assumes that all non-CVS files found are project
files.

Anyone have something better?

HTH,
-Al
