The reason i am using locks is because the files are XML, and as far as i know when CVS trys to merge XML it can result in invalid XML. I do however remember on previous uses of CVS the option to check stuff out as read only. However I cannot find that option now, this option was on the WinCvs client I am sure.
Do i require to do some sort of configuration on the Cvs Server to allow the locking of files? I have read the above manual, well actually the manual for 1.11.17, as this is what I am using, it just seems to describe the difference between reserved and normal edits. I have been able to check out the repository but then had to manually tell it to unedit all the files, so they appeared as locked. Then when i commit a change to a file it just leaves it as editable, were in previous use of cvs it would go back to being uneditable, i.e read only. Does anyone know if i need to do something else that I may have not done. Thanks all for the extended help S. _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list Info-cvs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
