Re: Storing RTF documents in a code management system
Broadly speaking, this is correct, in the sense that CVS is designed primarily to work the way you describe.3) Controlling access of documents (which would really be a process
we might be able to use)
Nope. CVS is a revision control program; it is pointedly *not* an access control program. Its purpose is to *allow* several people to work on a file at the same time, not to prevent them. (For comparison, SourceSafe is an access control program--it prevents two people from working on the same file at the same time.)
However, you can use the -L or -l option with the admin command to limit access with CVS.
