Use the following (unix) commands:

  cvs checkout CVSROOT
  cd CVSROOT
  echo > rcstemplate
  cvs add rcstemplate
  echo 'DEFAULT $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/rcstemplate' >> rcsinfo
  echo 'rcstemplate' >> checkoutlist
  cvs commit -m 'Add a default log message template.'
  cd ..
  cvs release -d CVSROOT

Now anyone that does a new cvs checkout of the same repository will get
the appropraite CVS/Template file that has the empty line you want which
will be part of the inital log message they see.

        Enjoy!
