I have Googled this subject so much my head and fingers hurt.
How do I see tags in the cvs repo without installing other software
(like Eclipse).
I want to see tagged code and tagged branches from the command line.
I have to check out some code from a specific legacy version and want to
be able to do this myself / discover myself without having to walk
across the building and ask someone that worked on the project three
years ago.
I found a solution that would involve installing perl and running a perl
script. There has to be something built into cvs to do this and it is
such a common thing to do, but is not in any intro to cvs that I can find.
I need to see separately tags that correspond only to code that was
tagged, and full branches, whatever you call or refer to those as.
Even with other software / Eclipse plugins, I do not believe those show
me the difference in the tags that need to see.
