>Why not check timestamps, then branches? The client only has the local file and the local CVS/Entries file at the time that it makes this decision. The only branch info is available from CVS/Entries; the CVS/Entries file had the correct branch info for the new file (i.e. the branch that doesn't exist yet, and won't if the client doesn't upload the file for the server to check in). This is a waste of bandwidth for non-checkin operations. The CVS client-server protocol does not have the facilities to do this well.
