If I understand right, this should be a save way:

	1. copy modified files to cvs directory
	   (I normally make my changes directly in the cvs-dir)
	2. update from cvs
	3. check for merging conflicts (e.g. by recompiling)
	   and repair them
	4. commit all modified files

In addition I currently update again after this and check the cvs output
if any file is still marked as Modified (which could mean that I forgot to
commit it).

bye,

  Stefan
