I looked at the dsecription inside the cvswrappers file itself and got confused.... # Format of wrapper file ($CVSROOT/CVSROOT/cvswrappers or .cvswrappers) # # wildcard [option value][option value]... # # where option is one of # -f from cvs filter value: path to filter # -t to cvs filter value: path to filter # -m update methodology value: MERGE or COPY # -k expansion mode value: b, o, kkv, &c # # and value is a single-quote delimited value. # For example: #*.gif -k 'b' Does this mean that *only* the values b, o, kkv and c are allowed as arguments? How can I specify the x then? I thought that I should enter this until I read the decsription: *.package -k 'bx' *.padstack -k 'bx' *.part -k 'bx' *.symbol -k 'bx' (the files are binary libraries used by our electronic CAD system to generate patterns on circuit boards) Maybe it should be like this instead? *.package -k 'b' -k 'x' *.padstack -k 'b' -k 'x' *.part -k 'b' -k 'x' *.symbol -k 'b' -k 'x' Best regards, Bo Berglund -----Original Message----- From: cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org [mailto:cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org] On Behalf Of Glen Starrett Sent: den 20 oktober 2008 14:38 To: cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook Subject: Re: [cvsnt] Difference between exclusive edit and resrved edit? Hi Bo, > cvs update -k+x file to enforce exclusive reservation That's probably the one you want. That command just adds the exclusive bit to them, so if they are already set up with deltas then it'll just add it. You'll probably also want to update the cvswrappers on the server to reflect the change, so new files are added with the exclusive option as well. > What I can't quite grasp is the difference between these two > options....

Files with the "x" option are checked out read only, and made rw by the edit command.
