 10.6.1 Telling CVS to watch certain files
 -----------------------------------------
 
 To enable the watch features, you first specify that certain files are
 to be watched.
 
  -- Command: cvs watch on [`-lR'] [FILES]...
      Specify that developers should run `cvs edit' before editing
      FILES.  CVS will create working copies of FILES read-only, to
      remind developers to run the `cvs edit' command before working on
      them.
 
      If FILES includes the name of a directory, CVS arranges to watch
      all files added to the corresponding repository directory, and
      sets a default for files added in the future; this allows the user
      to set notification policies on a per-directory basis.  The
      contents of the directory are processed recursively, unless the
      `-l' option is given.  The `-R' option can be used to force
      recursion if the `-l' option is set in `~/.cvsrc' (
      ~/.cvsrc).
 
      If FILES is omitted, it defaults to the current directory.
 
 
  -- Command: cvs watch off [`-lR'] [FILES]...
      Do not create FILES read-only on checkout; thus, developers will
      not be reminded to use `cvs edit' and `cvs unedit'.
 
      The FILES and options are processed as for `cvs watch on'.
