Interaction between cvs co and edit watches

[Matthew Berney]

We are using a CVS pserver model with Linix Server and NT clients.  We are
running CVS v1.10.8.  

I have discovered that using cvs co to checkout a new work area removes any
edit markings that may exist on a file.

For example:

cd c:\work\watch_test
cvs co -r mybranch myproj
cd myproj/mymodule
cvs edit myfile
cvs editors
myfile    mberney Fri Feb 16 22:11:28 2001 GMT    mberney
C:\work\watch_test2\myproj\mymodule

cd c:\work\watch_test2
cvs co -r mybranch myproj
cd myproj/mymodule
cvs editors
(BLANK)

As you can see from my simulated transcript here that when I checkout myproj
in a separate work area, the edit markings go away.

Is there any way to prevent this?  Or is there some other solution?

Please reply via email.

Thanks,
