Subj: Re: check_out_config question
<SIGH> Yes, this is an inconsistency. The X developers want the
check_out_config on their nightly tree to be this way. It should be consistent
with the base tree, but it isn't. Those developers which are frustrated with
the operation of the xnightly tree should bring that to the attention of the
X folks.

Subj: Re: check_out_config question
Yes Rich, there is an inconsistency because the X11 engineer decided that
they always want the most recent version when they check out a file and
if they want the version in the backing tree they copy it.
This is different from the OS works, but its the way the X11 folks wish to
work.
If there are engineers on your side are working in the X pool, they should
feel free to discuss these decisions with them.
Sorry for the confusion,
