RE: CVS keeps marking unchanged files are conficts

[Arthur Barrett]

Mark,

Try reproducing the problem using command line CVS.

If you can reproduce it send a new email including:
- the command
- the server version of CVS
- the client version of CVS
- the server OS
- the client OS

If you can only reproduce the problem with Netbeans - then contact the
author of netbeans.

Regards,


Arthur Barrett
