Updating inuse and the reference copy on checkout

However, just to complicate the issue, CVS does not have a similar mechanism for triggering an event on checkout. So on NON-WINDOWS platforms the cvswrappers file is used, modify it with a single line:

* -f 'add2list.exe inuse %()\%s %s'

On WINDOWS platforms the cvswrappers -f option is not supported, so use a batch/shell script similar to:

@echo off
FOR %%Y in (%1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9) DO IF %%Y~==checkout~ GOTO addit
FOR %%Y in (%1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9) DO IF %%Y~==release~ GOTO delit
:cvs
cvs %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
goto end
:addit
add2list inuse  .\sources\%2 :cwd:%2
GOTO cvs
exit
:delit
GOTO cvs
exit
:end

If you are going to use this batch file, be sure to use it in later examples and not CVS directly. If you name the batch file/shell script cvs.bat the cvs.exe will actually be executed first, so March Hare recommend giving your batch file a different name (like bcvs.bat).
