Yes, if by `edit comment' you mean the log message supplied during a
commit.
Use CVSROOT/loginfo to set up a system which broadcasts this to interested
developers; see <http://cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_18.html#SEC169> for
more details. I'd disable any existing commit notifications through
CVSROOT/commitinfo, as you'd get duplicate notices. Since watches provide
more information that commitinfo, you may want to leave those enabled (if
you're using them in the first place).
HTH,
Richard
