[cvsnt] Betr.: get a previous revision

[Jan Keirse]

Answering my own question I found this gets me pretty close to the 
revision number I need, I'll parse out the revision if noone else has a 
better suggestion:

C:\ws\dev\10.1arelatief\aankoop>cvs log -r::1.123 -d 2008-04-11 -N 
fileINeedToKnowOldRevisionFrom.txt

[cvsnt] get a previous revision






Hello,

I don't know if it's possible, but is there a command that gives the 
revision that came before a given revision number?

Imagine I had a revision number (say 1.13), but not the one that came 
before it (in this case it would be 1.12), would it be possible to 
retrieve revision 1.12 without knowing the revision number?

If not, is there an easy way to find out what the revision number was of 
the last revision that came before 1.13? 

ps.: The process needs to be automated.

Kind Regards,
