16.9.2.3 Defining revision information

Some VCS reports revisions number from which it is possible to deduce the related branches. This is the case in CVS for example where a revision number for a branch uses as prefix the branch point revision number. For such VCS it is possible to specify two regular expressions:

parent_revision

Parse the revision number and report as first match the parent revision.

            <parent_revision regexp="..." />

For CVS on 1.2.4.5 it must match 1.2.

branch_root_revision

Parse the revision number and report as first match the branch root revision.

            <branch_root_revision regexp="..." />

For CVS on 1.2.4.5 it must match 1.2.4.
