Is this a configuration issue? This is normal... it's usual to use the '-m' option to set a single edit message if you have a large commit (or use a frontend, like WinCVS). I'm not 100% sure why it was designed like that but it's been like that ever since cvs was first written... I suppose the idea is you have different commit messages for different subprojects. Tony
