If deleted all watches are gone (and also other interesting settings
like ACL:s).
Less drastic than actually deleting this file is to edit it and remove
the watch items.
Here is an example such a file from my test repository (which has seen
CVSNT versions from about 2.0.51 until 2.05.03.2114) :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<fileattr>
<file name="CopyofBosse.txt">
<editor name="bosse">
<hostname>eagle2</hostname>
<pathname>C:\Engineering\TEST\StingRec\FineFiles</pathname>
<time>Wed Dec 12 00:06:12 2001 GMT</time>
</editor>
<watcher name="bosse">
<tcommit />
<tedit />
<tunedit />
</watcher>
<watcher name="kalle">
<tcommit />
<tedit />
<tunedit />
</watcher>
</file>
<directory>
<acl user="bosse">
<modified_by>AGIUSA\Bosse</modified_by>
<modified_date>2006.01.17.23.10.32</modified_date>
<all />
</acl>
</directory>
</fileattr>
As you can see deleting the file will alter the ACL on the directory
being controlled. But you can remove the watchers sections.
