Hi, I've discovered a couple of issues with 'cvs unedit.' First, the easy one: as an administrator, I issued the command "cvs unedit -u username -R" to clear another user's edit. I had some files checked out and 'edited' in my working directory. CVSNT asked if I wanted to revert them - of course not!! I wasn't unediting *MY* changes, I was removing someone else's. CVSNT did't revert the change - but it went ahead and removed my edits on the files. This is not how it should behave: if an admin uses the '-u' option, *ONLY* that users' files should be affected. Now, the tricky one. Nobody - not me as and admin, not the user himself - seems to be able to remove the edit status for a particular set of files. Here's an example: C:\cvs\view22_4\Source\Core\GLWinRenderSystem>cvs editors GLWinRenderSystem.vcproj.vspscc VIEW22\gregs Mon Sep 11 22:06:56 2006 GMT HOBIL C:\Source\Applications\View22\WebApp\View22_4\Source\Core\GLWinRenderSys tem C:\cvs\view22_4\Source\Core\GLWinRenderSystem>cvs unedit -ugregs GLWinRenderSyst em.vcproj.vspscc C:\cvs\view22_4\Source\Core\GLWinRenderSystem>cvs editors GLWinRenderSystem.vcproj.vspscc VIEW22\gregs Mon Sep 11 22:06:56 2006 GMT HOBIL C:\Source\Applications\View22\WebApp\View22_4\Source\Core\GLWinRenderSys tem What would cause this 'edit' to be completely unremovable by anyone? Other files work normally. I have verified that both the 'edit' and 'unedit' commands were issued from the same directory on the same machine. -- Jim
