10.6.1 Telling CVS to watch certain files
-----------------------------------------
To enable the watch features, you first specify that certain files are
to be watched.
-- Command: cvs watch on [`-lR'] [FILES]...
Specify that developers should run `cvs edit' before editing
FILES. CVS will create working copies of FILES read-only, to
remind developers to run the `cvs edit' command before working on
them.
If FILES includes the name of a directory, CVS arranges to watch
all files added to the corresponding repository directory, and
sets a default for files added in the future; this allows the user
to set notification policies on a per-directory basis. The
contents of the directory are processed recursively, unless the
`-l' option is given. The `-R' option can be used to force
recursion if the `-l' option is set in `~/.cvsrc' (
~/.cvsrc).
If FILES is omitted, it defaults to the current directory.
-- Command: cvs watch off [`-lR'] [FILES]...
Do not create FILES read-only on checkout; thus, developers will
not be reminded to use `cvs edit' and `cvs unedit'.
The FILES and options are processed as for `cvs watch on'.
