But I'm fairly new as a regular user of cvs and can not get it all to work out into a smooth flow. Would anyone care to help me by describing your way of working? I'm particularily interested in how to record changes. I have earlier used ediff to view differences while writing the commit log message. Now I prefer to use C-x 4 a ('add-change-log-entry-other-window' suggested by kai) to record my purposes while editing the file. I'm currently using a Change-Log in each directory, describing changes in local files, and a "module specific" Change-Log in the top directory. But when using commit from pcl-cvs on the whole module, I have to manually copy and edit entries from all Change-logs below. 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? /mac Thanks to Reiner Steib for 'rs-insert-current-info-node' () -- .signature: No such file or directory
