Actually, please do.

Typing the log message in an offline file and then using:

	% cvs ci -F logmsg file [...]

tends to lock the repository files for the minimal amount of time
necessary to do the commit operation.  On the other hand, using:

	% cvs ci

and then sitting in an editor (with parts of the repository locked)
usually ends up in quite a few problems:

  - Quickly typed log messages that are a mess, or
  - Trouble by failing connections that leave stale CVS locks around

I've been bitten by both, quite a few times; thankfully, not in the
central FreeBSD repository, but other CVS trees.

So, please, you are welcome to use cvs commit -F logfile :)
