Files may have a sticky tag, locking it to a particular version, or branch. If you do cd wherever/gnus/ cvs up -A cvs up -dP you should be at the head of the trunk (aka. "main branch") of Gnus. ...if that's what you wanted to do...? :-) > For the last part, is `cvs status' the only way? Can it be aimed at > less than `cvs status' ... That is lots of output.

Not really, but you can do this: Open a Gnus .el file in GNU emacs (I don't think XEmacs has this, but for both GNU emacs, and XEmacs, "PCL-CVS" is recommended if you plan to use CVS). Observe that on the status bar it says "(Emacs-Lisp CVS-someversionnumber)" Do `C-x v l'. This will display the CVS log of the file. Go to the start of the buffer displaying the log. See the text "symbolic names:". Under that text, all tags in the CVS file for this file, are listed. When larsi stamp a particular release of Gnus, he puts a tag for that release on a particular version of all files that belong to the release. > cvs status gnus tells me it knows nothing about gnus cd to the top level directory of your gnus checkout, and type "cvs status". That's probably what you're looking for.
