Ahh, I see the problem. You need some way to tell everyone that the database stuff is being worked on. You're thinking of using CVS as the mechanism to do so. I think I would use the "cvs edit -c" patch for this situation. Noel [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 2001.03.02 13:54:59 (see below) > [EMAIL

It sounds like you're using some sort of content management software. I'm not 100% decided on this issue, but I'm currently leaning towards the idea that content shouldn't be versioned the same way normal files are since they tend not to be files. I guess the ultimate problem is that a set of to
