Merge branch to the head in CVS problem -


i understand cvs obsolete system in out time company use it. problem next. usual when developing starts create branch head , start work. times later re-base branch head , merge head branch. ok. every next typically operations problem. many-many files marked changed, in fact files hasn't changes! . , these files aren't become white red. it's problem, because need review of sure file modified.
re-base branch head have (using wincvs):

1.click update.. on branch;
2.check create missing directories;
3.check get clean copy;
4.check update using last check in time;
5.select revision update;
6.select merge type.

any ideas why can happen?

thanks.

tag head after each rebase, , next time rebase, set root tag last tag made.

like this:

  1. create branch head, tag head branch_root_1
  2. do work in head
  3. merge head branch root branch branch_root_1, tag head branch_root_2
  4. do more work in head
  5. merge head branch root branch branch_root_2, tag head branch_root_3
  6. ...

git , (recently) svn sort of thing automatically, cvs need manually after each merge. it's 1 of many reasons cvs avoided plague.
