RE: Diff with start of repository

Hi Bob,

No, that's the point you see.

If I just put the tag for the start tag I get: svn: Syntax error in
revision argument '1840:'
If I put it for the end tag I get: svn: Syntax error in revision
argument ':1840'

Hence the need for a version zero of something...
The repository was migrated from a CVS repository, hence the first
versions had a lot of code in.

Any further pointers would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
Martyn

Tag the current revision.

Review all code.

Subsequently, review diffs against that tag. Update the tag as needed
(assuming you want it to always reflect the state of the most
recently-reviewed code).

Thanks,

Bob
