I've been grabbing MOODLE_19_MERGED from CVS to look at the latest gradebook changes. Now that MOODLE_195 is out I'll switch over to it, but I noticed that I was getting a double-listing of the contents of Site Admin->Reports. So I went to /admin/settings and found a report.php in that folder, which I don't see on my 1.9.4 sites.
So I browsed through CVS and notice that there is a report.php in this location in MOODLE_19_MERGED, but not in MOODLE_194, MOODLE_195, MOODLE_19_STABLE, or MOODLE_19_WEEKLY. When I look for dead files, I see that report.php was removed from the branch 5 months ago (and on some, it has never existed).
So my question mostly comes from curiosity about how CVS works - shouldn't report.php also be deleted from MOODLE_19_MERGED? If not, why?
Should I have grabbed a different tag to get the gradebook changes before they were released, or is it just part of living on the edge?
Thanks,
Matt
MOODLE_*_MERGED is a tag, not a branch, and IMHO should not be used to install, track or update Moodle. It's a developer 'hack' to overcome some CVS limitations with repeated merges of the same two branches. So if you use it, you can end up with a non-functional setup (like you do).
