Well, it would show me that i have changed the file. With the current
implementation i have not possibility to check this. The CVS frontends rely
on the file status, which is "uptodate" aka not changed, the timestamp is
meaningless for the daily work. Yes, yes, i know , the file is not longer
version controlled, but the information, that i changed the file is
important for me.
Another question: Maybe my memory is wrong, but i had the feeling that an
cvs update of a static file didn't merge the file but overwrite it?
Unfortunatly i can't re-check this at the moment.
