Ok, I'm willing to do it the way the group decides.
Before that, one suggestion to Jon: it is VERY
helpful to have a ChangeLog file, with comments
for all commits. This is usual in most Open Source
projects I have seen. This way, the ChangeLog file
has entries like:
2000-0820 12:44:36 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* src/java/org/apache/turbine/foo.java
* src/java/org/apache/turbine/bar.java
Now foo and bar do The Right Thing (TM).
and the commit is issued like this (one liner):
cvs commit -m"ChangeLogTag: 2000-0820 12:44:36 [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
turbine
This way, you can always check what files where committed as
a whole. There is even a key in emacs (C-x 4 a) that will look up
the proper ChangeLog file for the file you are editing, and insert
the commit entry automatically.
This is just a suggestion, that I have seen produce good results.
If the wisdom of the group is to comment changes on the
commit message, I'll follow it.
