+CVS wouldn't be a good versioning system if you can't retrieve older versions |
57 |
+from the repository. You can pull back files based on a specific date, but of |
58 |
+course also on the revision number. The next example pulls back revision 1.202 |
59 |
+of <path>filename</path> and overwrites the current <path>filename</path> with |
60 |
+this version: |
61 |
+</p> |
62 |
+ |
63 |
+<pre caption="Retrieving a file based on the revision number"> |
64 |
+$ <i>cvs update -p -r 1.202 filename > filename</i> |
65 |
+</pre> |
66 |
+ |
67 |
+<p> |
68 |
+If you want to pull back files based on their date, use the <c>-D</c> argument. |
69 |
+You can use entire date/timestamps, but also relative names such as |
70 |
+<e>yesterday</e> or <e>last week</e>. |
