I expect most people already know this but in case not here's a trick to get cvs commit to display a diff of what you're checking in:

Create a file called ~/bin/cvsdiffedit:

---------------------------------- #!/bin/bash echo Building diff... cvs diff -u 2>/dev/null | perl -ne 'print "CVS: $_" unless /^?/' >> $1 exec emacs $1 ----------------------------------

(Change 'emacs' to your favorite editor)

Then put this in your .cshrc:

---------------------------------- ... if (-e $HOME/bin/cvsdiffedit) then setenv CVSEDITOR "$HOME/bin/cvsdiffedit" endif ... ----------------------------------

Or if you use BASH or similar:

---------------------------------- ... export CVSEDITOR=~/bin/cvsdiffedit ... ----------------------------------
