Hi!
I found a problem with file status.

CVSNT v2.5.01.1990 (both client and server side)
1. Developer modified a file locally - "status" command say: Locally
modified - It's OK.
2. Developers must use "edit" command, according to policy. Since he forgot
to say "edit" before modification of file,  now using "edit" command. (It's
not a good time to do this, but what to do?)
3. And after that, neither update, neither commit, neither diff do nothing.
After the "edit" command, the "status" command say: Up-to-date - It's not
correct, because the file still really modified against the same repository
revision.

After "edit" command, cvs updated the CVS/Entries file. Updated the file
date and time to the current, so cvs commands think, the file is
up-to-date. But it's not true.
I think, in this case,  the status should remain "Locally modified".
