Re: cvs log messages
I did find out what problem was. Since I was using vim (or gvim) which forked out a separate window, for some reason CVS assumed I had completed typing the log message, even before I actually typed in anything. So now vim does not fork out a separate process. Not sure if this is a bug or not, but I am posting it in the cvs.bug group.
