The watch-edit system looks like it should work fine, but I am not able to
get it to work. Here is what I tried:
first person:
cvs co luketest
cvs checkout: Updating luketest
cvs checkout: Updating luketest/luketest
cvs checkout: Updating luketest/luketest/test1
U luketest/luketest/test1/bin1
U luketest/luketest/test1/file1
U luketest/luketest/test1/file2
cd luketest/luketest/test1
cvs watch on bin1
cvs edit bin1
second person:
cvs co luketest
cvs checkout: Updating luketest
cvs checkout: Updating luketest/luketest
cvs checkout: Updating luketest/luketest/test1
U luketest/luketest/test1/bin1
U luketest/luketest/test1/file1
U luketest/luketest/test1/file2
cd luketest/luketest/test1
cvs edit bin1
No where here did it tell the second person that the first was editing the
file. So, we now have two people editing a non-mergable file which is not
good.
I did notice that watch could send e-mail notifications but that relies on
people checking thier e-mail before they edit anything. Is there a way
to get it to display a warning in the shell when they go to edit the file?
Thanks,
Luke
