That's a good start!

Hmmm. Eclipse does some weird funky sh*t sometimes. Can you ask it to get you a log? There's an option in Eclipse CVS control settings that will enable logging of cvs commands to the console. Enable it, and then start Eclipse from the commandline, piping stderr and stdout to a logfile.

There are also some weird differences depending on how you ask for the update or diff. I hate doing this but I'll have to ask you to tell me exactly how you ask for the diff and for the update.

And the platform you are running Eclipse on.

Yes, a common group is the thing to do.

  $ chgrp gitusers *sqlite
  $ chmod g+w *sqlite
