How to change commit tag (author name) in CVS of a file already committed? -


i didn't have own development environment, , copied vm different user. had did cvs update , did cvs commit.

i did not observe, cvs\root file had username of other user instead of mine, , changes committed.

in same way, there has been multiple commits me, , there has been changes on top of other developers.

now, how change author name of committed file other user's name name?

the short answer can't. cvs not provide capabilities edit history.

the longer answer sort of can if edit ,v file directly in cvs repository. requires have access server containing cvs repository.

the ,v file contains revision history of file working on , contains entries this:

1.2 date    2005.11.20.22.43.32;    author burhan;  state exp; branches; next    1.1; 

i suspect able change author there have not tried myself cannot confirm if work.

note not recommend doing unless absolutely have have potential corrupt revision history. you'll have balance risk vs desire have correct attribution , assess situation appropriately.
