Bug with entering Log messages using editor other than vi |
Date: |
Mon, 08 Mar 2004 16:01:53 -0800 |
Background :
PC :Intel Pentium 4
OS :Linux redhat 9
CVS version: 1.11.13 (client/server)
Initially my $EDITOR environment variable was set to gvim
After making changes to a or many files i do
$cvs commit
the cvs would open a gvim editor window. AND at the same time say
log message empty or unmodified
a)abort c)continue....
I would enter log message exit gvim and
say continue (i tried ! option also)
The bug was that NONE of my log messages were ever registered even though the
cvs made successful updates of my changes, But i lost my log messages.
THen i thought id change my EDITOR in my .cshrc i did so and made it vi
and Voila! the log messages started getting registered. I didnt even get the
'log message empty or unmodified' error
Is this a bug.I wanted to bring this to the attention of the developers so that
they may fix it if it is a bug. If not please advise what was wrong on my part.
