Re: Up-to-date check failed for 'module'

Larry,

Thanks for your quick response. We have had
the situation in the past where a developer
checks out a source set, makes some really bad
changes and then checks it back into RCS,
soon to be CVS. We in maintenance are charged
with the task of fixing these blunders in the
latest revision. Suppose I check out the source
prior to the screw up, make fixes and try to check
it in on top of the bad version. I get up-to-date
check failures! What am I to do? Create a branch,
or remove the bad version? I can see we are going
to have some problems using CVS! Our developers are
not disciplined enough to not check in BAD code.

Regards,
David Berry
