But yes, if I think I'm going to run into anything like that then I simply don't use the "cvscommit" convenience function, I toggle do-remote-cvs once and do cvs commit followed by cvs update if a conflict comes up. > I really can't see the 'easier ways' part - is there something I'm > missing, or something you're missing, or are we just disagreeing on > what is easy here? I guess it comes down to whether or not you consider thwacking the CVS/Root file easier or the CLI option easier - it's sort of the same to me given that I've been using the aformentioned shell functions for so long that the "stateful model" works for me more than having to think of different cvs aliases depending on whether I'm working locally or remotely. But I'm willing to concede that this comes entirely down to what one considers easier. :) Jordan
