RE: How to find out who all have checked out a particular file

[Sequeira, Brian]

You can use a feature called "watches" it provides developers with a way to notify each other about who is working on what files at a given time. CVS can notify if anyone else works on that file.

In CVS there is no concept of having checked out a file (except) to create your initial sandbox. You just change the file then commit your changes. Your developers could use cvs edit to indicate that they are editing a file - this works especially well when the sandbox is created read-only (cvs -r checkout module-name) as cvs edit will make the file writable. If the developers are all using cvs edit then cvs editors can be used to see who has run cvs edit on a file.

Hi,

 

In CVS, if I want to find out who all have checked out a particular file, is there a way to do it? I guess not. Does anybody know of any workaround if I want to enforce this, may be writing some wrappers?

 

Thanks in advance,

Shyam
