Synopsis

cvs [cvs-options] unedit [-lR] [files ...]

Unmark a file as being edited by the current user. The cvs unedit command is used as part of the cvs watch family of commands. If a file is being watched, CVS writes it (when it is checked out) to the sandbox with read permissions but not write permissions. The unedit command notifies watchers that the file is no longer being edited, clears the temporary watch, sets the file as read-only, and restores the file to the repository revision that the sandbox copy was based on. See also edit, editors, watch, and watchers.

The script in the notify file in the repository’s CVSROOT directory is used to notify the user of changes.

Synonyms: none.

Standard subcommand options: -l, -R.
