I'll see if I can fix it. Thanks for mentioning it. I'd recommend you try to setup your ChangeLog files such that it happens very rarely that a single commit spans changes recorded in several ChanegLog files. This way you won't suffer from the above problem. > Since I have a slow connection to my cvs repository (sourceforge) I'm > also thinking about using RCS as a local version control as described > in . Does this also work under > pcl-cvs? PCL-CVS doesn't know anything about RCS, so it won't mind but it won't do anything useful with it. I used such a setup in the past and actually liked it: instead of switching backend in VC with `C-x v b', I just let VC do all the RCS commands and used PCL-CVS to do the CVS stuff. Stefan
