This is also my understanding. > Maybe I should hack the CVS source :-) Rather than hacking the cvsnt source, you may want to look into WinCvs and its Python scripting support (if you and your guys work on Windows). Support for that is in the support.cvsgui newsgroup on the same server. Or alternatively use a shell (or other) script. The file date/time (UTC timezone) for each file is stored in the Entries file in a hidden CVS folder that exists in every sandbox folder. You can parse the list in the Entries file and create a list of files to update. Any file that has a date that's different from the date in Entries gets bumped from the list. (I suggested WinCvs above because I think it has some built-in support for this type of thing. In the cvsgui newsgroup are people who know more about this than I do.) Gerhard
