I'm not sure I understand this. SCCS (if my memory is correct) did allow checking out multiple files; it did not allow checking out the same file by multiple people. What, exactly, are you trying to do? If you want to check out specific combinations of files, you can use tags per file (including dates), etc. The idea behind CVS is that most of the time you want to check out "consistent" sets of files, and the assumption is that that "set" is on a per-directory, or directory tree, basis most of the time. (Alas, CVS does not guarantee this under heavy usage, or nearly-same-time access). Michael Robert Rosenblum wrote: > > Please help!
