Is this the correct way to commit a file only to cvs?

Question

A file is changed and needs to be committed to cvs that file only, is this the correct way:-

    cvs commit -m "createTables.sql"

Answer 1

No.

cvs commit filename

Is what you need.

cvs commit -m "some text" 

uses "some text" as the commit message.

Perhaps you want something like:

cvs commit -m "Commit file foo.bar" foo.bar
