Does it? Hm.. no... Let me try to explain it again. You don't checkin every file which you have changed for itself. You check in all your changes together. To document what has changed, you create before you're checking in your changes a ChangeLog entry. After you created the ChangeLog entry, you checkin your changes. At this point you can provide a message via the -m option or an editor pops up (at least thats the usual procedure I get). For this checkin message you use your last ChangeLog entry. So, don't checkin every single file. Checkin all your changes and use the last ChangeLog entry for this. Greetings, -- Roman Joost www: http://www.romanofski.de email: romanofski@xxxxxxxx
