Thanks. > You need to read up on how to use CVS, because you are completely ruining the system by the looks of your question. There is a really sharp border between the repository (on the server) and the workspace (on the clients). The ,v files are the sacred repository files which contain all of the file history and all the previous versions. These files should NEVER be touched bya anyone else but the CVS service itself. I always tell people to put the repository on a separate partition or disk on the server and hide it from view by not allowing a single user share on that drive. Noone should ever be allowed access to the repository files directly (for example using Windows Explorer)!! All work is done in checked out working copies of the module files, preferably located on the local hard disk of the workstation. All edits are then committed to the server when they are in a stable state (or even every night even if they are not stable). But as I said: NEVER touch the ,v files directly!
