   The person is working solely on the some files of the repository. 
Imagine it like this: There are two files. One stores bitmaps, the other 
sounds. Graphic artist works on (changes) bitmaps. Sound engineer works 
on sounds.

   It may sometimes happen, that, for example, sound engineer changes 
some of the bitmaps. Either accidentally, or because he needs to do some 
experiment. Now he may forget about it and accidentally commit changed 
bitmaps. My changes (-e and -E flags) prevent it - they may be used to 
only commit locked files and to keep files locked on and on.

   Anyway, I have posted two agreed-on changes to bugzilla (no-backup 
and   edit-flag). They are against 2.1.1, because newest CVS version 
does not compile on my box :-( There are several minor include problems, 
but then there's need for db_cxx.h, which I do not have.
