[Cvsnt] Re: Newbie question - reserved checkout, watched files edit -c

[Torsten Martinsen]

The WinCVS console shows the command ('cvs edit') as it is sent to CVS. CVS then reads your .cvsrc and acts as if the command was actually 'cvs edit -c', but the '-c' is not shown anywhere.

You can also create a file named .cvsrc file in your HOME directory (the HOME environment variable points to it) containing the following:

I thought the .cvsrc file was a workaround to WinCVS not providing an interface to edit -c. I was hoping so because no one will be using the command line in my group, they will be using WinCVS.
