This is simply a matter of training yourself to perform all the necessary steps, in the correct order.
Except for the most trivial changes to files you *know* are up to date, the commit procedure is not a single command, it is a sequence of commands that cannot be automated, because of the thought processes required by the humans at each step: cvs update Sanity check: rebuild if something was out of date cvs diff: ensure that the changes are what you expected (for example, did you remember to remove that debugging printf statement?) cvs commit Unfortunately, too many people skip the first three steps. -- Jim Hyslop Senior Software Designer Leitch Technology International Inc.
