Re: cvs commit: Up-to-date check failed

[Donald Sharp]

When you get up to date failures, it means that the working
copy( in your sandbox ) is not based off of the latest
that is saved in the repository.  In this situation
you need to run a cvs update first and then resolve
any merge conflicts( if at all ) and then retry 
to commit.  

You really want the working copy to be up-to-date
before you commit, else you can have situations where
you commit a change and loose other changes that
people have made to the file in question.
