Re:Re: Query regarding Branches in CVS

[Amit Sood]

I am using Win CVS client and 
using the file locking option,
but in this case I don't find it 
to be branch wise.Is other
way of locking available 
too??
 
 
>>Do you mean 'locked with 
cvs admin -l' or locked as in marked for>>editing with 'cvs edit', or 
locked in some other way?
 
>>As I understand it, cvs 
admin -l locks a specific revision. cvs edit>>marks the file for 
editing, but I believe it will mark each 
branch>>separately.
 
 
Yes I expect the changes to go 
in their respective places but my question,
if both the changes one 
for main branch and other for other branch at
exactly the same time will 
CVS be able to handle it???> Also if two users make changes to "ABC.txt" one 
user make changes to> "ABC.txt"> in main branch and other in 
RELBRANCH1 and these changes at exactly same> moment of> time will 
CVS will be able to handle such a scenario successfully.Yes. That's what branches are for. The changes in the branch 
version ofthe file will be saved to the branch, the changes in the main 
version.will be saved to the main 
trunk.
