This is often inconvenient. This is fixed in the most recent version of CVS. However, the error handling of client/server mode leaves alot to be desired. This is on Cyclic's TODO list of paid work that was due a couple weeks ago, but I didn't get back to them about the bug until earlier this week. > BTW, why do the following work differently for remote `cvs commit'? > Is it because the cvs client is current? > 1) all files are handled in one batch, even if they are in separate > directories. Optimization to minimize the 'commit' traffic over the wire, and to minimize the locking. Doing a 'commit-per-directory' requires more work than the client is willing to do at this point, and leaves the locks in place much longer. > 2) the rcstemplate file is not included in the default log message. I think you need to checkout the sources from the remote server machine to get it. This is stuck in the CVS directory on your clients.
