Question: concept of editors

[Alexander Mueller <al...@littleblue.de>]

Dumbo question: one feature or cvs is, u can tell the server you are editing a file, directory (you dont have to) with the "cvs edit" command.
The server stores this info. Others (and you) can use the command "cvs editors" to query the table
of editors for a file or directory. The server will then output a list of files that are being edited and the names of the editors.

In my eyes a great concept to stay on track whats going on and where to take care, especially if you
want to avoid the situation of having to merge code.

Didnt find something about this concept in svn? Am I blind, did people forget or thoughtfully ignore this feature?

Right. The whole "edit" and "watch" stuff will not be included in SVN 1.0.

We did discuss this some time ago, and the more general question of how 
one could enforce CM policy within SVN. I think we decided then that 
this was not important enought to worry about for 1.0.
