Hi,
I've been looking at the documentation & I'm a little confused with regards
to file locking.
I want to be able to checkout a file so that no other users can check out
and edit that same file at the same time.
This is the command to check out the source, yes.
cvs checkout dir
So do I just insert a -L in this command to have the source locked?
Also, will the same user be able to checkout other files and lock them into
a seperate working dorectory at the same time?
If someone (by mistake) goes to checkout a file that is already checked out
& locked by them, will they be told that the file has been already checked
out and locked?
One more question...
I have a directory in CVS which contains multiple related files. Is it
possible to checkout and lock only one specified file at a time from that
directory and place it into my working directory, leaving the rest of the
files availabe to be checked out?
Any help or pointers will be greatly appreciated,
Thanks in advance,
Peter
PS: Sorry if my questions may seem a little basic, but I'm quite new to CVS
& I'm using it as part of my final year degree project.
