Read following: This is not exactly the pinning feature. The pinning feature of VSS is an escape hatch that is used when people realize that sharing files was a bad idea, and that people are now breaking each other's projects when they check in changes to shared files without verifying the changes for each one of the N projects. What you can then do is, in the repository, asssert that you don't want to get new versions of certain shared files. You want them to be stuck at a certain revision. This is a policy for everyone checking out your project (but it doesn't affect someone checking out the same files through some other link). -- Meta-CVS: the working replacement for CVS that has been stable for two years. It versions the directory structure, symbolic links and execute permissions. It figures out renaming on import. Plus it babysits the kids and does light housekeeping! http://freshmeat.net/projects/mcvs _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
