Synopsis
watch
{ { on | off } | { add | remove } [ -a action ] }
[ -l | -R ]
file The watch command controls CVS’s edit-tracking mechanism. By default, CVS operates in its concurrent development mode, allowing any user to edit any file at any time. CVS includes this watch mechanism to support developers who would rather be notified of edits made by others than discover them when doing an update.
The CVSROOT/notify file determines how
notifications are performed.
Table 18-39 shows the watch subcommands and their uses.
