RE: CVS list files in repository which are currently in checked out status

Hi,

Will the edit command work only after the watch command?
i.e. is this something like when one starts watching files, and to modify the files I am watching, I will need to fire the edit command first?

Regards,
Rupa

There is no concept of a reserved checkout in CVS (such as there is in
RCS and some other SCM systems).

If you mean you want to find out which files have had a 'cvs edit'
advisory lock put on them, then you want to use the 'cvs editors'
command to get that list of files. The output will include the relative
path in the current sandbox to such a file as well as the user, the date
of the edit the hostname and the pathname of the file which was actually
locked.

You will need to do that command in a checked out tree.

	Enjoy!
