Description
The cvs unedit command is used as part of the
cvs watch family of commands. If a file is being
watched, CVS writes it (when it is checked out) to the sandbox with
read permissions but not write permissions. The
edit command sets the sandbox file as writable,
notifies any watchers that the file is being edited, and sets the
user as a temporary watcher to be notified if certain actions are
performed on the file by other users.
The unedit command notifies watchers that the
file is no longer being edited, clears the temporary watch, sets the
file as read-only, and restores the file to the repository revision
that the sandbox copy was based on.
The script in the notify file in the
repository’s CVSROOT directory
is used to notify the user of changes.
