I'm not sure if I understand how you are using the word "section" here. The way I use CVS, I always check out ALL the files related to a project -- even those not related to the immediate task at hand. There is no advantage (at least not one I can see) for checking out only certain files. > Finally, going completely off topic, does your choice of editor reflect > your extensive usage of CVS.... say emacs with a cvs module? I don't think so. I actually use pico. (Don't bother making fun of me -- I've already been roasted by the best of 'em!) A number of my developers are emacs nuts, one uses vi (ouch!), and one uses a Windows-based editor and FTP. I imagine emacs has some sort of special CVS tie-in (it ties in everything else!), but it obviously isn't really important for basic CVS usage.
