CVS has not concept of a commit across multiple files in its data model. You can of course look for commits to multiple files that share the same timestamp and author and infer that these are a single commit, but if you make two commits at the same time with the same name and description in cvs there is no way to distinguish that from one commit that hits both files. In git these would be captured differently. For the historical migration to git commits were consolidated using a window. Otherwise you'd get a bazillion Manifest commits on top of everything else, to say nothing of simultaneous commits to filesdir/etc. But, yours is a fair point all the same. In any case, git should be a lot more useful overall. Not to mention that while we might be arguing about which 3rd-party tools are the best for improving our workflow at least we have a choice now. --=20 Rich
