Really a reserved checkout?

Folks, I am new to CVS. CVS gives the option of reserved checkouts. www.wincvs.org offers a GUI where we have the option of 1.reserved edit 2.forced edit But the problem is even it is reserved edit/forced edit then the other person logs in alters the readonly file at the client and then commits

-D question

If I have a file in CVS that has a revision with a modification time of 2003-02-28 17:30:31 and I update my local working copy of the module that that file is in and I pass the -D argument with the value 2003-02-28 17:30:31, will that revision be included or will it be the one before it?

cvs on webserver set up question

Please forgive the rambling questions. I have used CVS previously, but am unsure of how to set it up in this environment. I have a web server that has multiple clients and I would like each client to be able to have their own cvs session (so they can not get projects created by other

How can I obtain a list of changes that have occurred since a tag to the latest version, I want to see the revision and check in comments only. I've been using the following command: cvs -Q rdiff -s -r TAG module but all I'm getting is the revision numbers since the tag, I also want the check
