Tag a Repository without having to check out first.

[m***@gmail.com]

Is this a way to tag and entire repository structure without having to check it out first. We have a huge repository about 2GB of data at a remote site. Running a old verion of CVS 1.11.23. Yeah I know its old, but i cant do anything about it.

Something like

cvs tag <tag_name> :pserver:***@cvs.repository.com:/usr/local/cvsroot/<project>

Thanks

cvs rtag

("rtag" = "remote-tag")
I have not used it for ages, but IIRC,

cvs -d :pserver:***@cvs.repository.com:/usr/local/cvsroot/<project> rtag <tag_name>

should do exactly what you want. (Check the documentation and test it
before performing it on a production server!)

HTH,
Spiro.

Thanks for the info, very close

Here is what worked for me. This also assumes recursive

cvs -d :pserver:<username>:<password>@<server>:<path_to_repo> rtag <tag_name> <directory_being_tagged>
