CVS message/description suppression

[pjaquiery]

It seems that the -m option is provided on the CVS command line regardless of there being non-whitespace characters in the "Log message:" field or not.

Either the -m command line option should be suppressed, or there should be an empty quoted string ("") following it to avoid comfusing CVS.

(VBB 5.1.1.4)

If the flag is omitted, I believe CVS will start an editor for entering the message, which could hinder an automated build. But i suppose it could specify "" (if CVS will accept an empty string there). For now, you could work around it by entering a single space in that field.

It accepts "". I work around it by entering "" in the field :-).
