I am abit unsure what it is you are trying to do.
If you have a file under CVS control, and you change it locally in your sandbox, and there is some update committed from somewhere else, a "cvs update" will try to add the diff to your locally changed file.
This may work (if there are no overlapping changes) or it may fail in which case CVS flags the file as "conflicting" (there is now a 'C' printed in front of it in the "cvs update" output) and the conflicting changes are marked inside the file with "<<<<<" and ">>>>>" markers.
OK, fantastic. That can greatly simplify the cello set-up. I should have thought of this sooner. Anyway, when the dust settles on Cello/OS X I will straighten out the whole mess.
Thx, kenny
