#842 CVS Commit set local file to read-only

[awood]

When I commit a file to a repository, gCVS sets the
file so that it is read-only.

I committed a file with the permissions set to 0777 and
after the commit the permissions were 0555.

Committing files with command-line cvs or through
Cervisia works correctly.

I am using gCVS 1.0 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 AS.
My kernel is 2.4.21-20.0.1.ELsmp.

Oddly, this is a fairly recent problem. gCVS had
worked fine for me before. I do update my system
frequently, however.

The read-only flag is ofter set by CVS binary itself in certain
conditions - like having a watches set. Please refer to your
CVS binary manual and support lists to find out the cause.

I don't think it's CVS in this case. I commited a
read/write file with gCVS and afterwards the read-only flag
had been set. I set the file back to read/write, made a
change, and commited it through command line CVS.
Command-line CVS did not change the permissions that I had set.

Perhaps the 'Checkout read-only' flag is activated. You can
find this in the 'CvsSettings' dialog at register 'Globals'

Ah, that was it. I didn't know about the checkout read-only
box. But I also don't know that I ever checked that box.
But for me, this issue is closed. Thanks for your help!
