Hi,

how can I check out a CVS project by specifying a branch *and* a date?
E.g.: Branch "MyBranch" on 05/01/08

This is not supported in Eclipse and I'm not sure whether it's even
supported in CVS. I seem to recall that there is some way to combine a
branch and a date to form a tag in CVS. If someone knows whether this is
possible, perhaps they can log an enhancement request against Platform
CVS with a detailed description of how it works.

Well, the command line client as well as TortoiseCVS *do* support it.
And without this feature, you cannot roll back to a specific date of a
specific branch.

I do it in two steps. First check out the branch, and then replace with
another version where you select the date (this stays in the branch).

I use this with Team Project Sets, where we embed the projectSet.psf in
the deployment. This allows us to check out the projects needed to
build the deployment, and then change them to the version of the date of
the deployment.

Works well for us.
