[cvsnt] Re: Repository TAG behavior

[Alberto Di Fede]

Thanks for the answer.

To be more precise this behavior fails when two concurrent TAG are  
done on the same repository. At one point in the middle of the TAG  
the two operations try to tag the same file at the same time: as you  
wrote, the lock server try for 20 seconds then it returns a fail to  
one of the two operations while letting the other one finish.
This could create some problem since there's no rollback on the  
failed TAG, so it remains on all the files tagged till the failure,  
leading to possible tagging errors.

I hope to have been clear enough.

Thanks again


Alberto
