Dont't panic!

In case you agree (in this case, with martynas@) that a commit message
is exceptionally misleading and likely to cause serious confusion in
the future, you can use

  cvs admin -mREV:MSG FILE

in addition to the clarifying mail to fix the message in CVS as well.
This is not git, you know, where they consider unfixability of wrong
commit messages a feature.  ;-)

However, be very careful, don't damage the repo while fiddling
around with cvs admin.  In particular, specify the correct FILE
and revision.

Yours,
  Ingo
