Re: strange line in CVSROOT/commitlog

[Shubhabrata Sengupta]

The locks are still being made in /tmp/cvslock - /tmp/cvs-serv15476
directory is not made for creating locks - CVS creates the directory and
puts the yet to be checked in copy of the file in there so that it can run
the commitinfo script on it. Only if the commitinfo script returns 0 does it
go ahead and modify the corresponding ,v file, Even here it makes a copy of
the ,v file before it modifies it. Normally you don't point the LockDir
variable to anything then the locks would be created in the directory in the
repository where you are checking in files to.

To see the contents of the /tmp/cvs-<pid of cvs process> directory - write a
commitinfo script and put a sleep in it.

Thanks
