File status

After you have checked out a file out from CVS, it is in one of these four states:

Up-to-date

The file is identical with the latest revision in the repository.

Locally modified

You have edited the file, and not yet committed your changes.

Needing update

Someone else has committed a newer revision to the repository.

Needing merge

Someone else have committed a newer revision to the repository, and you have also made modifications to the file.

You can use the status command to find out the status of a given file. See section status--Status info on the revisions.
