Team Versioning and Unset Read-Only flags [message #279550]

Alright, I've got a type of file called an *.ioml file (my own type)
that I have now got, thanks to Michael Valenta, requesting that it be
checked out before it allows a user to change it. When a file is checked
out and I attempt to make a change the standard "Checkout file?" dialog
shows up. If I say "No" the "Unset Readonly Flag?" Dialog shows up. Now
I tell it "Yes" and make changes and save the file. Now if I try to
either Team->Refresh or Team->Get Latest Version of the file it will not
replace my local copy. Furthermore if I open the file and try to make a
change it will ask me if I want to check it out (as usual) but if I then
say no it will not again ask me to Unset the Readonly Flag which leads
me to believe the readonly flag may need resetting on editor close or
something. The only way I can remedy a file that has had this happen is
to delete it in my file system and Eclipse project and then
Team->Refresh the entire project. Any ideas?

This sounds like an issue with your repository provider. The CVS
provider will replace the file no matter what the read-only bit is.
However, it's sounds like the provider you are using is detecting the
fact that you highjacked the file (i.e. set the file to readonly without
issuing a checkout) and is aborting the replace. You may want to ask the
repository provider support for help on this.
