CVS is not designed to support this use case. Its concurrency model is among sandboxes, not within a sandbox. > To make it clear, in sccs we all could use the same directory as the > working directory. sccs edit will make a component editable, sccs In CVS, you all share the same repository. The CVS analog of sccs edit is cvs checkout. This makes files editable by making a local copy. You can make a sequence of changes in isolation and then commit them as one unit of work. The use case you are looking for is better supported by RCS, which is a primitive tool similar to SCCS that CVS was based on. -- Meta-CVS: solid version control tool with directory structure versioning. http://users.footprints.net/~kaz/mcvs.html _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
