Andrew,
I am a bit confused about a joining 'flash_v2' branch with the latest
anon CVS tree. When I do
cvs -z3 up -j flash_v2 io/flash
...
I get the reports about collisions, and if I use 'flash_v2'
cvs -z3 up -r flash_v2 io/flash
...
it seems for me that I fullfil some downgrades against anon CVS sources.
Should that occur? Where am I wrong? It's possible I have to specify
some DATE mark with 'tag. Please, tip me how to merge 'flash_v2' branch
with latest sources properly? Thank you.
Kind regards,
