The version of cvs running on freefall will handle a q!, abort operation just fine. I have done it on so many occasions I don't care to count them any more. If we ever do get a version of cvs that fails this, it would be a class A1 bug in my book, meaning fix it today, or as fast as we can. I often get in to the commit, see the CVS: lines are not what I expected and abort the commit to go fix my mistake. [Often cvs add, or cvs remove commands forgotten]. Which reminds me, did you ever get any feedback from the cvs group to that small bug fix for 0 lenght RCS files in the repository? We still need to commit a fix and get a new version of cvs installed on freefall. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD
