RE: How to lock a file to edit a file

[Chuck . Irvine]

David,

Even though CVS lets more than one developer edit a file at the same 
time, it will not let develoers overwrite each others changes. And 
that's what is important. Please read the CVS docs to understand the 
philosophy and mechanics of this. If you are like so many, you will end 
up really liking the way CVS does things. Thanks

Chuck
