Tested this just now:
Edited a file and committed via WinCvs without filling in the message
window. The command line sent by WinCvs looks like this in the bottom
window:
cvs commit -m "no message" -- BranchAddFile.txt (in directory
F:\Engineering\Projects\Bosse\ModuleXX\)

Then I again edited the file and committed via the command line:

And now the message is stored as '*** empty log message ***' as you
say.

So the OP needs to look out for both strings, I guess...
