You shouldn't try to update an open file; Xcode won't allow you to do 
this, if you use its built-in CVS mechanism.  A `cvs update` will 
modify the file, and I think that if you were to modify/save your file 
with TextEdit while it's open in TeXShop, you would have similar 
problems.

You don't have to close the window if it is just being committed, but 
you do if it's being updated.
