We have a couple of text files (xml) which are generate by different development tools (iLOG and InstallAnywhere) which are not mergable. Is there a way to define these as non-mergable. We do not want an update to attempt to merge these files. I realize that this is the default for binary files, but these are not binary. We do not use reserved edits, and do not have "watch on" on the repository. Can we still set a specific file as "force reserved edit"? If so, does this force a developer to do a reserved edit before they can commit the file? Comming from an scm system which enforces a very strict reserved "check-out/check-in" model, I've grown to like the C in CVS, but I've found the need to require forced/reserved edits in certain instances, and don't know how to handle it well with CVS. any help is greatly appreciated.
