Description Steen Lehmann CLA 2003-08-26 08:55:15 EDT
It would be nice to have an "Untag..." action next to "Tag With Existing..." 
in Resource History. The action would prompt for one of the existing tags on 
the resource and would then delete ("cvs tag -d") it.

I think it would be very useful.
Maybe it would be better to have the link in the "Resouce history" table too
(The same way "Tag with existing..." is)

I think this option "untag version" or a "reset sticky tag" option like in
winCVS would be usefull for a whole project as well.

Consider following usecase, which gives us real headache at the time.

1) Consider a workspace with a lot of dependent project.
2) Most of the projects are checked out in a specific version, since we keep 
   information, which versions of different projects work with each other, most
of the time we work with labeled version of such subprojects.
3) Someone starts to fix a bug in such a versioned project (and forgetting to  
 check out the head version first).
4) Wants to commit the changes.


First of all, you run into the problem, that you can't check in into that
version which is correct.
But then our developer has no chance to update his version to the current HEAD
(or did I miss something) to commit his work at least there.

Our present solution is to run WinCVS parallel, updating a project with the
"reset sticky tag" option (and without a nice Synchronize View), then refreshing
the project in Eclipse and commit.
