Re: Question about the command-line for committing

[Rob]

I know of no way to specify multiple log messages
on one run of "cvs commit".

Maybe if you talk about your goal? I think I would
go about this differently, but I am not really sure
what kind of info you are trying to collect.

Hmm.. I would just use a for loop if I was using shell
to do something like that.. however maybe morning will 
bring someone with a more useful solution for you. 



Good luck,
