good one :-) I've found that using a bug tracking system, and simply 
noting down the bugs that have been fixed (or features that have been 
implemented) reduces the amount of info u have to log when committing.

keeping a small text file open to copy/paste the changes (or log 
messages) can be done too ;-). But I doubt you'll get something like you 
want into CVS...you'd have enough problems trying to discriminate your 
comments from the real code ('real code' being any of things that you 
could store in CVS).

You could also run a diff before checking in to refresh your memory as 
to what you've done in that file.

If you were supposed to understand it, we wouldn't call it 'code'.
