[Phpwiki-talk] New stable branch in CVS.

[Jeff D. <da...@da...>]

There is a new tagged branch in the CVS named 'release-1_2-branch'.
It's purpose it's to keep track of bug-fixes/changes in the 1.2.x
branch of phpwiki.

I've propagated all the bug-fixes currently in the main CVS branch
into the new branch.   From now on, if you make a bug-fix in the
main branch which is appropriate to the 1.2.x branch as well, please
commit your changes both places.

Here's a mini-howto on dealing with tagged branches:

To check-out the latest versions of the files within a tagged branch
do something like:

  cvs -d...@cv...:/cvsroot/phpwiki \
    co -r release-1_2-branch -d stable phpwiki

This will checkout the stable branch into the directory named 'stable'.

If you now 'cd' into 'stable', and run a 'cvs status', you will see
that the tag 'release-1_2-branch' is set as a "sticky tag" for each
of the files in the repository.

Now you can edit the files normally, and when you're happy with them,
commit them normally (using 'cvs commit [...]'.)   (The "sticky tag"
stuff causes the commit's to be checked in to the tagged branch,
rather than the MAIN branch.)

I find the following to be useful CVS references:
