C-c C-c then does the actual checkin and then presents the ChangeLog with an entry automatically filled in. So far so good. However, a C-x C-q on the ChangeLog pops up a the log buffer and C-c C-c presents the re-revised ChangeLog again... So, how do I keep the ChangeLog under CVS control and avoid this cyclic behavior? Perhaps there's a better method. I wonder how others maintain version histories. -- Richard V. Molen Warning!! Signature under construction, safety glasses required.
