Also, CVS doesn't have a checkout process. Unlike VSS, you never have to know who has a file checked out, etc.
Your local cvs workspace knows exactly which files you have touched, etc. If two people are working on the same file, then the first released is OK, the second released will get a merge / conflict. The second developer will have to manually merge the two changes. I'm using WSAD / Eclipse so it makes the merge process very easy. hope it helps...

When multiple users have the same file checked out, each can make independent changes simultaneously. CVS does the dirty work of merging the changes when the file is committed back to the repository. - Dennis "CSharpner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Please forgive my green-ness to CVS. > > I've been using VSS for I guess about a decade now (sorry :) In VSS, > when one person has a file checked out, other people are prevented > from checking it out at the same time.
