Re: Forcing locks on files when checked out..

[Noel Yap]

I think the easiest way to do this (although I may be
biased) is to install one or some of the patches
available at SourceForge under project RCVS.  The
patches I'm thinking of will add checking to edit and
commit.  Developers will need to modify their .cvsrc
files to default to the right command options and
they'll have to learn to use edit if they don't
already.

Hope this helps,
Noel
