Hmm, this is interesting. I have always been (and still am) of the opinion that one should always commit individual files, and never ever do a 'cvs commit' on the top level of a module. Why? Because top level commits usually create poor log messages (same for all files), and because it makes it far too easy to commit files that you have just made temporary modifications to (e.g. changing a make file to compile with debug flags) that you really don't want to commit at all. Oh well, I guess I must be a total idiot then... /Ludde ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ludvig Borgne, Prover Technology AB, [EMAIL PROTECTED], www.prover.com _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
