The fix is not to check in generated files.

Right now, the process is roughly:

   on your machine: checkout, change, build, checkin
   on the server: checkout

A better process (which will lighten the load on the poor CVS server *AND*
people's mailboxes *AND* eliminate the possibility of people either
intentionally or unintentionally editing generated code) is:

   on your machine: checkout, change, (optionally build), checkin
   on the server: checkout, build.

The big change in all of this is (1) where you do the final build, and (2)
a .cvsignore file.

Care to help?

Not having an opportunity to view the changes to the real changes would be
a horrendous missed opportunity.
