>Description:
When committing files with CVS, if I specify a log file for the commit command; it splits out a bogus abort message after the commit has completed.

Here is an example of the output:

Terry@dixie$ cat > /tmp/log                                               11:35
superficial commit for problem-report
Terry@dixie$ cvs commit -F /tmp/cvs-ci.8K04g33j
cvs commit: Examining . 
  ... snip ...
?   ... snip ...
Checking in .Terry_shrc;
/srv/cvs/Terry/.Terry_shrc,v  <--  .Terry_shrc
new revision: 1.27; previous revision: 1.26
done
Checking in .vimrc;
/srv/cvs/Terry/.vimrc,v  <--  .vimrc
new revision: 1.40; previous revision: 1.39
done
cvs [commit aborted]: cannot specify both a message and a log file
Terry@dixie$

Afterwords, the commit message can be reviewed with cvs log, changes viewed with cvs diff, checkout/update the file from other machines, etc as normal. It just acts like a moron if you say -F file.


From cvs --version:

Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.22.1-FreeBSD (client/server)
>How-To-Repeat:
$ echo some message > logfile
$ cvs ci -F logfile
$ cvs log

You should see that it was "done", followed by a "commit aborted" message during the commit. The data was really committed, so you can view it in the log and so on.
