You're really asking for trouble by doing that, but anyway... I think you can "update special" your entire folder to the branch, and then update-special each file back to the trunk. The idea is to have a sticky branch tag in your sandbox, but no sticky tag for any file. It would be easy enough to test in a sandbox without committing anything to the repository. Set your Windows Explorer to display the sticky tags; make sure all your files have no tag; create a new file and cvs-add it, make sure the file is listed with the sticky tag. -- pa at panix dot com _______________________________________________ info-cvs mailing list info-cvs@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs

You'll lose track of which files are on the branch and which are still on the trunk. You will make changes to the trunk files that depend on the presence of the branch files, everything will work in your sandbox but at that point your trunk is broken. That sort of thing. As a rule, it is much safer to branch all the files. Well, at a minimum you should switch your Windows Explorer view to the "details" list and customize the displayed columns to include the CVS sticky tag. -- pa at panix dot com _______________________________________________ info-cvs mailing list info-cvs@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
