Yes, I'd say they do. And they always have in the past. Locking the whole tree was a fairly recent change in response to a report of lost changes due to bugs in the previous directory-at-a-time locking method and lots of people complained about it because tagging large trees can take a long time and no one can even do checkouts or updates while the tag is in progress. -Larry Jones Santa's gonna skip this block for years. -- Calvin _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
