Please use the quit emacs without saving (for vi :q!, I don't grok emacs) and then answer the silly little: Log message unchanged or not specified a)bort, c)ontinue, e)dit, !)reuse this message unchanged for remaining dirs Action: (continue) with an ``a'' to abort the commit. THis is the _prefered_ and _correct_ method. Do not use signals to abort cvs jobs, though it tries to do the right things, it is not perfect in this respect :-(. > I know there were two stray locks within the last day or two, but I can't > remember where... Rod might... One was in the ports tree some place, the otherwas in some directory that had man as part of its name, can't recall exactly where. There where several .rlf's (read lock files) from thud too :-(. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD
