CVS-faux-pas
Craig just came over to my cube to let me know I look like a silly designer when I check things into CVS.
I've always checked things in like this:
cvs commit -m this-is-my-commit-message file.html
When I could just do this:
cvs commit -m "this is my commit message" file.html
A java programmer once told me I had to do it with dashes. He told me this after I tried committing without a message and got trapped in vim without knowing how to exit. Was the programmer just hazing me? Marking me as rube so all the cool developers would snicker when they read my commit messages?
