The idea behind "edit" was that some guys are afraid of merging and asked to be notified, when someone else is working on "their" files. So i setup cvs email notfication and told them to use edit.

They had a different timestamp, but were possibly identical in byte code. What is the definition of identical in cvs for binaries ? Olaf
