We're using cvsNT and Tortoise CVS client on windows machines. We had enabled 'Exclusive editing only' option in the client, and had selected 'Check out files read-only' while checking out the files (using 'Make New Module' option). We used the'Edit', 'Unedit' and 'Commit' method.
Now, we want multiple developers to start working on the code concurrently. so we changed the client setting to 'Do not use Edit/Unedit' (also tried 'Concurrent editing') and did a fresh checkout after unchecking 'Check out files read-only' option.
but now the checked out files are read-only and we can not work on the files. I even ran the 'watch off' command on the root folder.
I can work only if I re-enable the 'Exclusive editing only' client option.
Is there any other setting on the client or the cvsNT server which I'm missing?
