Hi,
We have a CVS where a large no of codes are checked in all the days.
Today files in the ceratain directory alone is checkout as readonly for
all
the users.
I am sure no specific restriction is applied on these files.
We dont know what is the reason for it. WE are unable to rectify it also.
Any one help us to rectify this problem.
How to remove the read-only restriction on these files.
Regards
Revathi
in the directory where these files are read only, try the following
command:
cvs watchers -R
I expect you will find someone has used the `cvs watch` command, I did not
think it was supposed to make things RO but it has for me in the past. My
solution for folks who wanted to watch files was to make a script that
always
applied watches as `cvs watch add -a commit filename`, and have them use
that.
or someone may have used `cvs edit` unnecessarily.
