RE: Is this a bug?

[Andy Baker]

Yep, spot on. I /do/ have "CVS:" at the start of all the template lines as I
want to provide some comments/recommendations to the user about the log
message they're about to enter. I guess my only workround for this
(admittedly rare) condition is to hack logmesg.c so that my additional
comments get re-presented.

Thanks for the input

Andy

You're missing something, although it's hard to say what.  The message
that's written into the temp file for the editor consists of any
previous message, any rcsinfo template (unless it's the same as the
previous template) , and the standard template.  After editing, the temp
file is read and lines beginning with "CVS:" are removed; what remains
becomes the previous message for the next go-round.  If what remains is
empty (or is just a blank line), or if the file is unmodified (based on
its timestamp), you get the message.  So, the only ways I can think of
to get your result is that either your rcsinfo template lines start with
"CVS:" or you deleted the template and saved the result before quiting
from the editor; otherwise, the template would have been read into the
previous message and thus preserved.

Something COULD happen today.  And if anything DOES,
by golly, I'm going to be ready for it! -- Calvin
