It uploads all the data to the server that the server needs to do the magic, and then downloads the results. The commit message is uploaded at the start before the server has even decided what/where to commit. All the client does is check the timestamps on the files to decide what files to upload, it has no idea which ones were really changed and which ones just had timestamp touches. 2: Not a chance with the present protocol design, sorry. The remote cvs protocol and the remote cvs client are completely seperate chunks of code to the local cvs commit stuff.
