There is no reserved _Checkout_ at all (unless you use the term "Checkout" the way it is used in other VCSs, e.g. MS VSS). That has been deprecated for good. What is there is Reserved _Edit_. The weak spot of this concept as it is now however is not that it could be undone (what would you do if you wanted to discard your local changes?) but that to e effective it either has to be explicitly specified by each *client* or defined on the server for *all* files (via cvsrc). A better solution IMO would be if this could either be specified on the server in a format similar to CVSWRAPPERS or analoguous to the recently introduced -kL mode, e.g. -kc. In the latter case, one could actually use CVSWRAPPERS for this nevertheless. > According to WinCVS.org (noted on site as below), this capability is not > available, The "Sorry, not yet" only applies to the FAQ entries themselves, not to the actual CVS(NT) features. It's merely a placeholder reminding me that I should write those texts. Unfortunately I do not have any practical experience with this particular feature myself, so I'd be happy if someone else would step up to write those.
