Ben, I would not think you would want to have everything locked upon checkout (way too restrictive when dealing with entire directory trees). What you could do is use the CVSREAD environment variable and set it to 'read-only'. This will cause all files to have

My general advice is to install the "cvs edit -c" patch and use the "cvs edit" and family feature. "cvs edit -c" is like locks, but it can be overridden (via "cvs edit -f") such that it's possible to have multiple people "locking" the same file. In this respect, it's more a communication tool th

AFAIK, cvs only converts line-endings when it detects the client is a different platform, however, if you check in or import DOS files (with CR/LFs) from a Unix client, no conversion will be done. If your developers are using a decent editor on the windoze side, then a lack of CRs should not b
