Re: disabling multiple checkouts

[Colm Aengus Murphy]

Hi Shivraman,

The best you can do is to use watches (see cvs manual) to inform someone 
editing a file that someone else has started to edit the same file.
To warn the 2nd editor you need to create a wrapper script for cvs edit 
which will run cvs editors before proceeding with the edit.

This won't stop concurrent edits but it will inform everyone concerned 
which is all you really need to do.
