i have configured version control managed by cvs,
but only one person can check out one package every time,if ea support multi check out at a time,how to do?
we use ea  manage requirements(use cases) and design,our team cooerately with each one,so the trouble mentioned above occured,if ea does not support multi check out,how to solve this trouble?

thanks a lot!

I have had a similar problem. We want to have part of our team work on use cases while the other part of the team is worrying about the data models.  However, we can't seem to check these major areas out separately, to each group.  It all ppears that the cvs mode is doing exclusive checkouts similar to the way SCC works.  However, this is not a recommended way to use cvs which is supposed to rationalize and merge changes from several contributors.  

Also, the diagrams are getting locked as a result of the exclusive checkouts and there is no way to easily unlock them.

We are also noticing a horrendous lag time when right-clicking on a package to check it out or get latest version.:-/


Is there a cvs configuration whitepaper or somesuch?
