CVS: how to find which version a branch was created from? [message #211435] Wed, 03 August 2005 08:10 Go to next message

Hi - I have created several branches and now I need to merge with main
trunk.

But.. for one of the branches I forgot which version I used when I created
the branch. Is there an easy way in Eclipse (3.0) to view the version a
branch is based on. I havent ben able to find that information.

Best regards
Lars

Was the branch created from within Eclipse? If so, you can use the fact
that Eclipse automatically creates a tag at the point where it branches
(using a name derived from the branch name). If Eclipse was used, you
should be able to find the tag that Eclipse created when it created the
branch.
If not, there are several plugins that visualize or graph the CVS
history of files. They would probably help you track the branch back to
it's origin. Try searching at http://www.eclipse-plugins.info

HTH,
Eric

Thanks Eric!

I tried the Version Tree plugin - just what I needed.
