Re: CVS lock issue

Glasgow, Steven R CIV USARMY TRAC (US) dixit:

These are not lock file names. Lock files are named like #cvs.*,
and there are several types of locks. Furthermore, a promotable
lock is obtained beforehand, and only converted into a write lock
when actually writing to the target file.

Please see section 2.2.6 =E2=80=9CCVS locks in the repository=E2=80=9D in t=
he
Cederqvist (=E2=80=9Cinfo cvs=E2=80=9D on the command line).

Obscuring filenames like that will not get you useful debugging.
