Of course I mean "cvs admin -l".

In fact there is another way to solve the problem of facist locking. It 
could be passed to the client (gui) application. For example it would be 
quite easy to teach the WinCvs to prevent locking for some files and enforce 
locking for the others when needed. I think it could even be done using 
existign TCl macro mechanics - no coding required. It would also be good 
because only the people who actually face the problem would get the solution 
- the others don't change anything. Althought it is not as elegant as 
solving the problem once and for all on the server side, it would do it's 
job quite all right... It would be kinda wrapper on the gui side... Hmmm, I 
begin to like the idea......any comments on this one?
