Re: branching



In fact, if you really want to be advanced, and not deal with the slowdown on merged files that haven't been modified by you on the branch, but have been on the merge (This is hard to explain. If you merge from the head, and commit the result, it makes a new revision in the file, even if you haven't made changes on the branch. This eventually makes accessing the branch *quite* slow), you can just move the branch tags on the files you haven't modified on the branch, so that they refer to the new mainline revision.

Sounds more difficult complex than it is.
You don't happen to have a script? (Yes, for long lived branches things do start to get slow). The other option is to fix CVS I guess.
