Each file which gets committed with the long message has a separate copy in the CVS repository, so e.g. a 1k commit message which touches 10 files (suppose you added a bunch of patches) adds 10k to the repository for a very minor code change. The rule of thumb is generally to be concise, because CVS repositories don't usually ever shrink :-) Kris ---- In God we Trust -- all others must submit an X.509 certificate. -- Charles Forsythe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
