21:49 <@maekke> wtf? gnome-base/gdm is locked by jmbsvicetto?
21:49 <@maekke> never seen that before
21:50 <@antarus> cvs uses locks to prevent concurrent commits to files last time I checked

antarus@flycatcher /mnt/cvslocks/gentoo-x86/gnome-base/gdm $ ls -al
total 0
-rw-r--r--  1 jmbsvicetto users    0 Oct  9 17:44 #cvs.rfl.flycatcher.3886
drwxrwxrwt  3 robbat2     users   80 Oct 14 21:53 .
drwxrwxrwt 57 robbat2     users 1140 Oct 14 21:50 ..
drwxrwxrwt 12 robbat2     users  240 Oct 14 21:50 files

I believe this was during some testing that jmbsvicetto was doing for you guys when cvs was crappy earlier this month.  gnome team would love it if this lockfile was deleted.

Reproducible: Always

lurking lockfiles deleted.

FYI CVS takes locks on files for ALL actions, both writes and reads.
