Thanks for the quick reply.
Usage: cvs commit [-Rlf] [-m msg | -F logfile] [-r rev] files...
-R Process directories recursively.
-l Local directory only (not recursive).
-f Force the file to be committed; disables recursion.
-F logfile Read the log message from file.
-m msg Log message.
-r rev Commit to this branch or trunk revision.
I think this is the right track, but the comment "disables recursion" raises
a question. If I do:
cvs commit -R -f -m "production deployed on 19 Dec 2007" *
Will cvs add this message to all the files (use the -R recursion) or just
the files in this directory (ignores -R)?
Cheers
Eric
