Is it possible to use the commit message in a pre-commit hook in CVS? The CVS server is running remotely, and I access it using pserver.

In CVS, my working copy (WC) is on a certain branch (which we'll call "foo"). There have been other changes checked into foo by another dev. I want to do a diff between my WC and the upstream state of foo. Normally, when working in the trunk (HEAD), I just do a cvs diff, and that's fine. But for some reason when doing a plain cvs dif...
Hello all, I'm having a discussion with the management about Subversion practices. I've asked them to tell the administrator to configure our Subversion repository so it's possible to change the commit comments afterwards, in case I missed something even of the proof-reading :-).

Our team has noticed that CVS brings back deleted code if you have changes in your working file within the block of code that has been deleted. CVS does this silently without presenting the merge conflict markings. Does anyone have a work around for this? Is there a clever way to detect that this is about to happen? ...
I have a CVS tree with some modified files and some new/added. I use: cvs -q -x diff -u To generate a patch that lists all the changes. However, it lacks the newly added files.

Hi folks. Could someone tell me exactly what the "pserver" mode is, in regards to CVS? The term "pserver" is used frequently, but I've yet to find an explanation of what it actually is. If "pserver" is a special mode, then I assume there is a default mode as well. If so, what is the difference between the two? ...

Everything works fine, CVS checkout, update, commit. Fast ...
