- If I understand correctly that you did a
- ci -nsome_name file1 file2 file3 ...
- then you would just do a
- co -rsome_name file1 file2 file3 ...
-
- BTW - It appears that the symbolic name is used by literally plugging in
- whatever comes after the ':', which allows a lot of freedom. For example, I
- can do
- ci -ncur_maj_vers:1 file_list
- to define the current major version, and at any time do
- co -rcur_maj_vers file_list
- and it would be the same as
- co -r1 file_list
- that is, it would check out the last version at major level '1'.
