I'm using cvs 1.11.22 and I too found the contrib
scripts late last night via my own searching.  Thanks
for the good info though.  I'll probably use log_accum
and commit_prep in some kind of combination.

BTW, I did not mail to your address@hidden mailing list.
You can see this by looking at my original header. 
Arthur forwarded his reply to the address@hidden list
without my permission.  So I guess your complaint is addressed 
to Arthur? It might be better to address your comment to him by name.
I *only* posted to the usenet group gnu.cvs.help which as far as I know it's
acceptable to not expose email addresses due to spam.
