Re: Question/Feature-request.

Ok,

So I got the code by tar and have looked at it.

I've added a new state called STATE_OUTDATED and the needed texstyle and 
pixstyle.

I added to _lookup_cvs_files () to check for updated files but have hit a 
snag.

It seems there may be no way to know from "Entries[.Log]" to know if a newer 
revision exists in the repository.

I found that the "Entries" will say "Result of merge" in the date field if 
I've locally modified a file that also has a new revision on the server. But 
nothing special if not modified.

As far as I can see all the checking is done without contacting the server 
so I may be out of luck.  But then my python skills are limited so I may be 
missing something.

Also, I've added a button to CVSview called Outdated.  It appears (without 
image) and toggles but the filter is not applied.  On or off, the outdated 
files show up in the list.

Any help with what I'm missing would be great!

Thanks,
Joel Duggan
