RE: Question about the command-line for committing

Hi,

Thanks, but (I think) this is not what I need. You see, I need *the same*
"commit" command to commit files from several directories, and give a
different log message for each directory. The scripts that I run using the
"loginfo" and "commitinfo" files collect information about the commit as it
goes from directory to directory (and store the information in temporary
files), and when the last directory has been committed, it processes the
collected information, then deletes the temporary files. For this reason, I
would like the same commit command to be able to commit several directories
with different log messages.

Thanks,
Shlomo

Hello,


You can specify a path/filename as well.

i.e.
cvs commit -m "this dir is cool" cooldir/
cvs commit -m "this file is not cool" notcool/notcool.c
