Thanks Mark. I tried both "cvs watchers filename" and "cvs editors filename", nothing coming. Then I also did "cvs unedit filename" and "cvs watch -a remove filename", but the "cvs watch -a remove filename" return me a "Usage: cvs watch [on|off|add|remove] [-lR] [-a action] [files...]". Not sure why it does not work, the CVS version is 1.11.2.
Anyway, after "cvs unedit filename" and "cvs watch -a remove filename", the file remains -r-r-r after checking out and broken my compilation. What else should I try to fix this problem? Thank you.
