Re: Versioning vs Revisioning

Max,

a version is a property of a single file, a revision is the combination
of a version of many files. Many different files (a specifiv version of
each) make up one revision of some package.

I want to be able to say: Check out all files for me that make up
revision X or product Y so that I can build that revision of the
product.

I also want to be able to check out all the files that make a different
revision of the same product.

Example:
I have three files:a.c, b.c and c.c that make up my product 'X'.
I have a revision 1.0.0 of X that is made up of
a.c - version 1.5
b.c - version 2.6
c.c - version 4.2

Now, I go and create revision 1.1.0 out of
a.c - version 1.9
b.c - version 2.23
c.c - version 5.4

and so on.

At any point, I want to be able to say 'give me all the files that make
up my revision 1.0.0 or 1.1.0 or which ever one I need at the time.

How would I go about that without too much manual overhead?

Best regards,
Chris
