Sounds weird, normally one edits a few files and then commit and this will not cause a congestion. Simply cvs commit -m"message text" is simple enough. If you have all of these files do you really list them on your command line, i.e. are you making a slection from a much larger set of edited files? I don't understand how you can even get close to the number of modified files you mention. Just a thought experiment: - Editing a file means thinking up some changes, opening the file in a suitable editor, entering the changes and saving the file. I doubt that all of this can be done in much less than say 5 minutes on average, but let's assume warp speed editing so you get 1 minute per file. - 1000 minutes adds up to nearly 17 hours of constant editing files (correctly too!) So as I said, how can you get even close to 1000 edited files between commits? You should commit as soon as you have done some few sensible edits and not leave it all to commit your last few months worth of work. But then again I may completely misunderstand your situation... /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
