Howdo,
If I'm looking at a dired buffer on a directory and have played with
several files in it to make some changes, how do I get `C-x v v' to commit
all those changed files with one log message?
Currently I've tried marking a few files with `m' in dired, but still no
joy: I'm always getting an error, "Buffer <directoryname> is not associated
with a file".
I've also had a gander at the wiki,
<http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?CategoryVersionControl>, but
nothing has jumped up & bit me yet.
Anyone have any ideas? :)
Ta,
~Tim

For version control, I recommend vc-dired instead of dired. Type C-x
v d.

Then, it should be sufficient to say `v v', after marking the files.
But why don't you use PCL-CVS? You mention it in the subject line of
your posting. Type M-x cvs-update RET /path/to/working/directory
RET. The command `C' will commit the file/directory under point,
even recursively, so it is sufficient to hit `C' on the top-level
directory in the *cvs* buffer. It also snarfs ChangeLog entries for
use as commit messages (unlike `c' which doesn't do that).
