Assumption, the user who "put the new source in the repository", did so by using `cvs add file` and `cvs commit file`, and there is a ,v for the file in the repository. Q1) is the new file in a new directory, or a directory that never had any thing in it before? Reason they don't see it: their sandbox has been optimized to work on what was known at the time of their checkout, i.e., don't waste time looking for things we did not find the first time. Fix, have every one else `cvs update -dP`. Q2) is the user who "put the new source in the repository", working on a branch, or a different branch from the rest of the users (the trunk can be considered a branch for consideration of this question)? Reason they don't see it: branches exist for work separation and segregation of changes so one group will not affect another until they are ready to be affected. Fix, read the CVS manual on merging changes from branch to branch.
