RE: Query on CVS watch on/off

[Martell, Larry]

I have received this same message 13 times over the past few days.

Is this a problem with the list server or my mail server or this poster?

Subject: Query on CVS watch on/off

Hi,

 

       I checked out my repository as two different users into two working copies.

 

As user1:

 

I made the watch on

 

Ø       cvs watch on a.txt

 

As user2, I updated my working copy and tried to modify the file(a.txt). The file was made read-only. (However I can give “cvs edit a.txt” and modify my file)

 

 

Now as user1, I made cvs watch off

 

Ø       cvs watch off a.txt

 

 

Once the watch is set off, file(a.txt) in user2’s working copy should be writeable(Without issuing “cvs edit”)

 

As user2, I should be able to modify my file(a.txt). I updated my working copy, but still a.txt is read-only in the working copy.

 

Is this a desired behaviour?? Can anybody help me on this..?

 

Thanks in Advance!!

 

 

Regards

Barathi
