how can I tell cvs to leave a file alone, i.e., to ignore it in
"cvs update" and "cvs commit" commands? That is to say, I got the file
from the Repository using "cvs update", I customized the file for my
purposes, and now I want to keep this personal version of the file. I
don't want the rest of the world to notice my changes, and I don't want
my file to be modified anymore by the rest of the world.
You can't. But if you explicitly update that file to the revision you
checked out, you'll give it a sticky tag that will prevent CVS from
trying to update it and will cause CVS to complain if you try to commit
it.
