I don't know if anyone else is annoyed at the fact that "cvs up" will make a watched file read-only. Note that the problem will only be seen when: 1. watches are on 2. the user has done "cvs edit file" or "chmod +w file" 3. a "cvs up" merges changes from the repo into the file IMO, it doesn't make sense that "cvs up" should make the file read only since it was the user who originally made it read-write and it was the user to did the "cvs up". I understand that there's a chance that the user had the file open in vi (or some other unintelligent editor) and could accidentally overwrite changes. However, the user should be responsible enough to: 1. take a look at the output of "cvs up" 2. take a look at what's being committed before the commit is actually done (ie do a "cvs diff") I'll be working on a patch that'll fix this lame behaviour (unless someone convinces me otherwise with valid reasons for this behaviour).
