I have a question about how people use CVS. How common is it to always checkout and update read-only, and then use "cvs edit" when you start working on a file? Or, do people checkout read-write and never use "cvs edit"? I have always thought that modules should be checked out read-only, and "cvs edit" is only used when you start to work on a file. However, I'm getting the impression that that appears to be an "alternative" strategy, and even deemphasized.
In fact, in the WinCVS interface, the "cvs edit" functionality is under the "Trace" submenu, hiding it from the first-level menu. Other SCMs use the strategy that I'm used to as the primary strategy ("checkout" read-only, and do a specific operation to put the file into edit mode). _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
