CVS checks for conflicts and when it finds some, then it refuses to merge= . You have to merge then manually, because two developers changed the same lines of the code. The amounts of conflicts that it does detect can be reduced by merging frequently to all branches. Ofcourse does testing find the final issues, but when we use CVS right th= en I am pretty sure that those issues are in 99% of the cases not caused by CVS. But ofcourse there will be a learning curve how to use CVS in a proper wa= y. When you still have some doubts, then please discuss it at inf...@gn.... I would be pleased when you are able to define exactly in which cases CVS damages the merging process without returning an error/warning.
