cvs locking or notification or reporting

[Thomas Marsh]

List:

We have a new release that is progressing on a release branch. Current 
development is occurring on the main branch. how can we:

1) Lock the main branch

or

2) notify the modifiers of each branch that someone else is working on 
the the other branch?

or

3) Periodically run a report / script to compare release branch / vs 
main branch, and report on changes?


TIA

Tom
