Was: Patch for preserving edit on files when checking out

[Boomhauer]

I was wondering if anyone was working on implementing the patch
discussed in the subject thread.  The last post on this topic was in
April and I haven't seen any mention of the patch being implemented in
any recent builds.

The issue deals with the list of current editors getting wiped out in
the CVS/fileattr file when a module is checked out a second time after
files are already marked for editing in a previous sandbox.  This
presents a major impediment to working with modules that contain
unmergeable binary files.  It can obviously worked around by warning
users of the issue so they only work with one sandbox, but there is
always the possibility that someone will forget.
