Re: issue with exclusive editing on win7

Hi Paul,
 
TortoiseCVS is the software that draws the pictures on the screen, and
displays the dialogs.  CVSNT is the software that runs the server and
does checkout/checking etc etc.  
 
You are never going to convince every developer to set up every PC the
same way and leave it configured the right way - instead use the server
to set the central policy and enforce it.  If you are runing CVS Suite
2009R2 server, when you create the repository using the wizard you can
configure it as 'reserved' and 'override clients'.  
 
If you need to re-run the wizard to create a new repo just run:
 
wizard /server
 
If you need more assistance please contact the vendor of CVSNT - March
Hare Software via sales-qn/[email protected], please be sure the include
'cvsdiag' results from server and client, eg:
 
cvsdiag > c:\server.txt
 
Regards,

	Subject: [TortoiseCVS] issue with exclusive editing on win7
	
	
	Hi,

	We are currently migrating a lot of computers to win7 from win
xp and have an issue of exclusive editing on windows 7. The -c flag is
not sent for the edit command when performing an exclusive edit how can
we get this to be sent?
	

	All documents maitained from win7/winxp are word design document
and thus we have used: tortoisecvs -> preferences -> Edit -> Exclusive
editing only (CVSNT servers only) 
	This option is enabled on both windows XP as well as windows 7
	
	On windows XP it has worked as we want and we have received an
error message when trying to edit a file already being edited by someone
else since to avoid a lot of manual merging and copy paste in between
documents.
	
	Windows XP -> TortoiseCVS 1.10.10
	===========================
	In <path> "C:\Program Files\CVSNT\cvs.exe" -q edit -zc
"DocumentName"
	
	
	<documentname>   <username>   Wed Nov  2 08:31:19 2011 GMT
<computername>   <checked out path>
	cvs [edit aborted]: Files being edited!
	
	Error, CVS operation failed
	
	Tortoise Tip: Someone else is editing the file you want to work
on. If the file is binary, you must wait for 
	the other user to commit the file before you can edit it.
Otherwise, you may edit in parallel with the 
	other user; CVS will eventually merge your changes with those of
the other user. However, you might 
	want to talk to the other user to ensure that you are not both
working on the same lines of the file.
	
	Error, one of the CVS operations failed
	--------------------------------------------
	
	
	Windows 7 -> TortoiseCVS 1.12.5
	=========================
	In <path> "C:\Program Files (x86)\CVSNT\cvs.exe" -q edit -z
"DocumentName"
	

	<documentname>   <username>   Wed Nov  2 08:31:19 2011 GMT
<computername>   <checked out path>
	--------------------------------------------

	Ok without any error message but the user must manually note
that the file is already being edited by someone from the row in the
output window. Earlier on XP there was an error and the edit was
aborted. Now file is edited by 2 persons concurently and this will only
be noted when the 2nd person try to perform a commit.
	

	I noted that it from tortoisecvs looks as the -c flag sent for
the edit command is not being sent. I have tried to add .cvsrc file with
edit -c option but with out success to prevent multiple persons
performing concurrent edits.
	It works fine to manually issue a cvs cvs->command as "edit -zc"
then it works as on XP and an error occurs when trying to edit the file

	How do we get the same behavior on windows 7 as on XP when the
edit policy is set to "Exclusive editing only (CVSNT servers only)" that
the -c flag sent when performing an edit command?
	

	The repository is on a unix machine and both win xp and win7 are
communicating with the same cvs server and no change has been performed
on this server side.
	

	
	Regards,
	Paul
