This maybe slightly OT but I'd like to see how others deal with this issue. I have a development system under CVSNT control. There are a handful of configuration type files that each user needs, but once the user gets the default version of the files I do not want them to receive any more. After the first check out I want these files to be modifiable by the user and do not want them to commit or update them. Is there any way to indicate a file in CVS that is only updated on Check out vs. Update? I see a couple of ways of doing this: 1. Don't include the files in the CVS module and have a zip of the files in question and a policy that when a developer does a check out on the module they unzip and get the config files. I don't really like this because it's not very automated. 2. Include the files in the repository and set a policy that you never commit your changes to these files. Unfortunately, a GUI like WinCvs will always show these files as changed and needing commit. 3. ??? any ideas I'll probably go with option 1, but I'd sure like something a little more automated. I hate to have to remember special steps <g>. TIA, Rick
