RE: rcvs patches

[MW Mike Weiner (5028)]

yes this is what we had in mind...we are trying to mimic the locking
mechanism that was inherent in MS Visual Source Safe, so we can have
multiple developers editing the same file in separate (or even the same)
sandboxes. The next step is which patches do i need from the rcvs project to
use with the current cvs-1.11 install??

Thanks.

The locks that "cvs edit -c" affords are advisory
which means that they are only locks in-so-far as
users treat them as locks...  Users can always use
"cvs edit" or "cvs edit -f" to go ahead or force the
edit.  If this is what you had in mind, then the
patches are perfect.  If not, why not?
