You can unedit (set read-only and clear the temporary watch) a file
with cvs unedit or cvs release, or by removing the file and re-
creating it with cvs update or cvs checkout.

directory to notify the user of changes.
Synonyms: none
Standard subcommand options: -l, -R
Options
-a action
Notify the user when the specified action occurs to the file.
This setting acts as a temporary watch (see watch) on the file

designates one of the possible actions. The -a option can be
repeated to designate multiple actions.
The action may be any of the following:
commit
Notify the user when someone else commits changes to
the file.
edit
Notify the user if someone else has run cvs edit on the
file.
unedit
Notify the user when the file is no longer being edited by

running cvs unedit or cvs release, or by the file being
deleted and re-created with cvs update or cvs checkout.
