RE: CVS list files in repository which are currently in checked out status

[Rupa Bholanath Lahiri]

Hi,

Thank you all for your patience.
Now I would like to specify here after digging further and further that I need 
to list out the files which have being reserved check out / locked by any user.

Regards,
Rupa

A 'cvs release' command will automagically unlock files on which you have 
performed a 'cvs edit filename' operation. It will not print out such files 
unless they have been modified in your working copy.

A 'cvs release' command will print out a list of modified files in your along 
with a number:

$ cvs release -d mod
M foo.txt
You have [1] altered files in this repository.
Are you sure you want to release (and delete) directory `mod': 

If you say 'no', then you will get a message like

    ** `release' aborted by user choice.

and the module will not be released. If you say 'yes', then the module will be 
released. The -d option will remove the local copy of the files for you in 
addition to possibly updating the history file and sending any notifications of 
edits you have released to any watchers of the files you have edited.
