VC-CVS commit with standard comment

VC-CVS commit with standard comment

[Sven Bretfeld]

Hi all

Is it possible to set an automatic standard comment when checking in a
version controlled file? 

I'm the only client of my repository and I always give the same comment
"new" when I check in files. This can surely be automated to save time
(or to entrust checkins to the "midnight" function). But how?

Good idea I also wanted something like that.
I have under git also many org-mode files, sometimes I can't really give
a commit message that makes sense, maybe something auto-generated from
the diff also would be nice (like the first n-chars of every diff line).

Same issue for me.

(add-hook 'log-edit-mode-hook '(lambda () (interactive) (insert "new")))

Maybe do something clever via log-edit-mode-hook

That's almost working. Thanks. The problem is that the second checkin
wants to add the comment "newnew", the third "newnewnew".

(lambda () (erase-buffer) (insert "new"))

That's working perfectly. Thank you very much.
