According to something Tony posted a while ago, edit -c is a pure client-side thing. It's merely the equivalent of first running cvs editors before doing the actual edit. I have no idea why the GNU CVS 1.12 client seems to have implemented some kind of check forbidding this. Maybe edit -c means something entirely else there... I didn't even know GNU CVS officially had edit -c by now... does anyone know what it does? Could this be another compatiblity issue like the one with ls/rls ?
