regexp.html apparently not branched in CVS

           Summary: regexp.html apparently not branched in CVS
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.6.2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Documentation
        AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jglick@netbeans.org


While doing a routine link check on the Ant 1.6.2 manual, I noticed that links
to CoreTypes/regexp.html were broken... and in fact the 1.6.2 distribution does
not seem to have this file. Looking at the CVS log I see that although the file
was created on 2003/12/01, it has no CVS tags, and is thus not present in the
Ant 1.6.x branch. Probably someone created the file on the trunk after
ANT_16_BRANCH had been made and then used an incorrect CVS command to merge
outstanding trunk changes to the branch? (If you use CVS commands correctly,
additions and removals will be handled transparently, but it is all too easy to
use different command styles which handle modifications correctly but not
additions and removals.) Someone should probably check to see if there are other
files missing the ANT_16_BRANCH tag which ought to have it, e.g. sanity-check
the output of

cvs -q rdiff -u -r ANT_16_BRANCH -r HEAD ant | fgrep 'diff -u /dev/null'
