Changing Log Messages

Finally, a tip on dealing with human troubleshooting... if someone writes an "inappropriate" log message, or makes a mistake with a log message, it can be modified with the cvs admin command with -m command.

Example:

$ cvs admin -m 1.3:"Fixed for loop to increment counter correctly" hello.py
RCS file: /home/cvsroot/hello/hello.py,v
done
$ 

Change takes place immediately and is irreversible.
