I have just started implementing CVS for our software project. Firstly I like to thank everybody who was involved in writing CVS and making it available for everyone to use. It is not only very easy to set up but also easy to use and maintain. I just have one small question that I am confused about. I have read the user manuals written by Cederqvist and Karl Fogel. They are excellent manuals, so the reason I am asking the question is not because of anything lacking in the manual but because I could not understand something. Now for my question. We have a software on which about 5-6 developers work. I created an account on a DEC/alpha machine for the central repository. Then I created a repository and did an import on the project. Everything worked fine. Next I set up the users on different machines by doing a checkout through "rsh". That worked fine too. Users can edit files, do commits and updates all without any problems. The only problem is that when a log is done on a file, it displays the "author" as the account name in which the Repository resides even though different users have done commits on the files. In the manuals in examples of log I see different names in the author field. What am I missing? From what I understood after reading the manuals the author name in the log files is the name of the user who does an import on the project. Since a number of developers are checking out files from this project how do their names get reflected in the log file. Also if every developer were to do an import, then there won't be any central repository and everybody will have their own individual repositories. If anyone could help me out with this problem, I would really appreciate it. Thanking you in anticipation of a reply. Sincerely Niaz Ali Khan E.T.A. Inc.
