That's what I was > talking about. Why? Is this an incremental (but good) step at improving CVS as we use it? In other words, does this then become part of how we could do ChangeSets?

The ability to, w/o dorking directly with the repository, to update/edit the commit comments, seems more appropriate. I have to say, while we're sort of on the subject, that I've begun to use BitKeeper seriously - and once I got over the wierdness of carrying the repository around with one and merging repositories rather than merging source back into a repository (back in TeamWare land again), I've been quite liking it. But this is probably not on point- Sorry for being surly- I missed the front end of the thread and thought it was yet another *BSD style(9.99+Change) discussion again. Whatever you're doing positive here I am more than willing to listen and try and help on. -matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
