Well, then, of course it committed that files; you told it to.

'cvs -n commit' is a noop; It does not, as you pointed out, give a list 
of the files, since id doesn't really do anything.

'cvs commit -n' commits the files without running a tag program. See the 
description of the common -n option in this section:

Well, that's true, but you usually don't want to commit until your 
project up-to-date with what is in the repository and you've run your 
regression tests. Usually I do two updates in a project; one to merge in 
all the repository changes, and then one to see a clean list of what 
would be committed.
