Yeah. I can, and previously I have. I was just wondering if this is something that could be done server side... The client side (depending on how smart you want to be) would have to parse the cvs options and deal with switches. You might even want to query the files to see which branch to use. This is what I'd done previously with regular cvs but it added significant overhead (around 3-5 cvs operations per file): i.e. for cvs edit: cvs log or cvs editors (for the lockers), cvs status -v, cvs update then, cvs edit If I could just leverage the knowledge that the server has of all the options and return the correct branch for the user to edit, that would make the most sense to me. Also the ability to cvs edit and lock a non-branch tag seems a little strange... I'm working on some very dumb scripts that do not allow any options and just do the commands required based on a config file. This at least means I don't have to query too much. I know it'll work eventually...
