When you have checked that the compiler is still compilable you decide to make a new version of `backend.c'.
$ cvs commit backend.c
CVS starts an editor, to allow you to enter a log message. You type in "Added an optimization pass.", save the temporary file, and exit the editor.
The environment variable $CVSEDITOR determines
which editor is started. If $CVSEDITOR is not
set, then if the environment variable $EDITOR is
set, it will be used. If both $CVSEDITOR and
$EDITOR are not set then the editor defaults to
vi. If you want to avoid the overhead of
starting an editor you can specify the log message on
the command line using the `-m' flag instead, like
this:
$ cvs commit -m "Added an optimization pass" backend.c
