If he has mounted the directory where he does his checkout in as a cvs directory, then every now and then Netbeans will do check-ins of files, even if you didn't ask it to. And ofcourse, that will lead to check-ins without a message. (At least that's our experience) Now we use WinCVS combined with c-x v v. The directory is mounted in Netbeans as a normal directory. fwiw, the version of WinCVS we use pops up an annoying screen where we can enter a log message. HTH, Arjan
