You could even give them a symbolic tag to make retrieving them even easier: cvs tag Deprecated_01_20_07 my/src/files/* then cvs -f rm my/src/files/* If you ever need to get them back, you can do an update using the tag: cvs up -rDeprecated_01_20_07 my/src/files The above is untested, so you should decide if it sounds like what you want and then check the syntax before doing it. - Dennis _______________________________________________ info-cvs mailing list info-cvs@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
