The edit Command
The edit command enables you to edit or modify a file. When you edit a file, the file is temporarily added to
the list of file watchers. You can release the file from the list of file watchers using the unedit command.
For example, to edit a watched file in the current local working directory, use the following syntax:
$ cvs edit –l watched_file.txt
To release a watched file from the list of file watchers, use the following syntax:
$ cvs unedit –l watched_file.txt
