Jitendra Lokwani,

There is no way to "combine" several CVS commands into one (without
writing a shell script or batch file).

CVSNT (Unix/Linux and Windows -  free/GPL - just like CVS) has a "cvs
edit -C" which checks that the file you are editing is up-to-date and
will fail if it is not.  I think that's as close as you can get.

to find same..

No - but the cvsrc or the .cvsrc on the client side could be set to
"edit -C" to make that the default option.

Regards,


Arthur
