How about reserving numbers on the main cvs tree, for every file you intend to modify, in advance? That way you'd not have the problem of number collisions, no matter how many developers decided to hack the same code at the same time, the one's that did it remotely would HAVE to check in the get numbers. I hope this is not too ridiculous. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and n3lxx, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 2.2 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
