I have a question about how people use CVS. How common is it to always
checkout and update read-only, and then use cvs edit when you start
working on a file? Or, do people checkout read-write and never use cvs
edit? I have always thought that modules should be checked out
read-only, and cvs

Yup, that's what I do. Optimistic locking and all that sort of thing,
you know...

Not CVS. That C stands for Concurrent. You can find out what that means

Hi David,
'cvs edit' and 'cvs watchers' is something that was bolted on to cvs as
a way to give advistory locking to cvs for files that are difficult to
merge.
In general, I never use it (other than to test that the feature still
appears to work).
We never use cvs edit. In my opinion, that negates the whole benefit
of the C in CVS.

Hmmm... 'cvs edit' implies locking, so, your
question asked all of us about 'locking' even if
you did not know that
I don't believe the 'edit' does a lock on the server.
Quoting Vesperman's book:
The cvs edit command is used as part of the cvs watch family of commands.
If a file is being watched, it is checked out to the sandbox with read
permissions but not write permissions. The edit command sets the

Why take it on faith when you have the source?
Go and look it up if you wish. It is not much
of a 'lock', but for many definitions of the term
it is a 'lock'
