If the symlinks are in his sandbox, then cvs update will look at them.
Simon, is this something like what you did?
cvs co MODULE
cd MODULE
rm FILE
ln -s /somewhere/FILE
edit /somewhere/FILE
cvs -n update
The problem is that cvs looks at the timestamp of MODULE/FILE and
decides that it hasn't changed so it doesn't list it as updated. Is
this correct?
