You can use the "cvs edit -c" patch and have all your developers use a procedure
that uses it.

Subject: binary files: checkout methodology: enforce only one to modify ?
Hi all,
We're using cvs to control text files, but also binary files.
As we don't have a diff/merge tool for those binary files,
I'd like to setup a default policy for binary files such
as only one person at a time can modify them.
I found a "merge methodology" in the cvswrappers,
but no checkout methodology.
Is there a way to tell that each *.gds should
be edited by only one person ?
thanks,
P.S.: By the way, Anybody has been using CVS
to host a repository for EDA files (.v, .spf, .lib, .db, .cir, .gds) ?
some of them are binaries & can be quite big: 120 MB.
Is CVS a good choice for that ?
