'ci' can't guess which version you're trying to check in, because you're holding more than one locks on that file. Try C-u C-x C-q and see if Emacs prompts you to specify a version number to check in as. gg44060> I can choose a branch manually each time I checkin, but gg44060> that is quite tedious. Use the "rcs" command in a shell to remove the other locks you're holding. Something like "rcs -u1.2.3.4 filename". Read "man rcs". (Read also the info pages on vc. It may has support for this operation from within Emacs. Or there may be some Emacs variables with which you can specify the "default" branch to check into.) -- Lee Sau Dan +Z05biGVm-(Big5) ~{@nJX6X~}(HZ) E-mail: danlee@informatik.uni-freiburg.de Home page: http://www.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~danlee
