There's a race condition here in which there's a small chance of more than one person succeeding in editing the file(s) and hence the reason for the advisory locks patch (read on). > You might find something useful in the > "cvs edit -c" > patch in the Renegade CVS Sourceforge project, but I > don't have the > URL, Sourceforge's search isn't working right now, > and I don't > remember exactly what it does. "cvs edit -c" is exactly what you describe above. The caveat is that anyone could do a plain "cvs edit" or "cvs edit -f" to bypass or override the check (unless one patched the patch).
