You mean it does not inforce the up to date requirement that local cvs does? Blehhh!!! Un acceptable for our needs. It would be far to easy to smash other commits close togeather time wise.

I am glad to know that you are on the bleeding edge with this at your place, that will help collect good data, and help us avoid the pitfalls when we do go forward with it. For now I think we have more important tasks at hand and do not wish to have you loose sleep, or me be chasing after kittens. :-) -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD
