[Wine]old Wine from CVS

[Mark Knecht]

Question - can CVS roll back in time? Is the following legal?

export CVSROOT=:pserver:cvs at cvs.winehq.org:/home/wine
cvs login
<password>
cvs checkout -r 20040505 wine
cvs update -D 20040525

[Build Wine - see a problem]

cvs update -D 20040515

[Build wine - see what happens]

Does this work? Or do I need to checkout a new set of 20040505 files
and then update to 20040515?

I'm trying to avoid a make clean and rebuilding the whole tree which
takes 45 minutes.

Thanks,
Mark
