Hi Mark,
Thank you for replying so quickly.
I am sorry, I am new to CVS. We don't really use rcsinfo file. We
basically use a plain CVS functionality and use all the default
settings that come from the CVS distribution.
From the CVS documentation, it looks like rcsinfo file should contain
a rule set. I am not familiar with this file.
Also, how can we make it applied globally to all newly created
projects instead of individually customizing the newline behavior? I
mean, without having to edit the rcsinfo file on every project.
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.
