Hm. Actually the HEAD is now at something like 780. What I *really* have
is a layout like:
server
tags
branches
trunk
client
tags
branches
trunk
library1
tags
branches
trunk
library2
tags
branches
trunk
And at some point in time (around revision number 260) each of these
modules were copied to "tags/milestone-1" respectively. Currently when
we reach a milestone everything is tagged. At some point though the
modules will take on a life of their own and have their own milestone
builds independent of the other modules.
And then development continued. And we now have a small number of
milestone builds. And consequently a revision number like 780. But we
also discovered that library1 wasn't needed and so it was deleted.
Thinking of course that it's still technically in the repository and can
be brought back as needed. Each of these modules is in the same
repository (sorry, not sure if that's the correct term. suffice it to
say that they all share the same revision number.).
so to bring back the deleted library i need to use "-r 263" when i check
out. not a big deal, i thought. until i needed to check something back
in.
what i don't understand is... the last revision number, effectively, on
"[module]/tags/milestone-1" is 263. this is true for all of the modules
in the repository. and i have a build script that assumes it's the same
number for all the modules. so can i safely merge all the modules to the
HEAD? (i still think in cvs terms too much...) since the modules have
been "svn copy'd" i won't really be updating the contents, just the
revision number. but then does this also mean that the deleted module is
back on the HEAD? well, i don't mean "undeleted", just that i don't need
to specify "-r ###". Or do i need to replace "-r 263" with "-r 781" in
my build scripts?

no. i mean being able to say "-r FOO_1" instead of "-r 263". effectively
creating another type of tag scheme. :) i can hear the cries of derision
now...
thanks much!
