Thank you very much for your answers guys. I think you are right, on the one hand is useful to have CVS verify that you are not committing accidentally by forcing to write a comment, and on the other hand it's quite a big "human" issue to "force" the users to write something "meaningful". I will try to implement the verifymsg solution and also to think in some other way to convince my colleagues to write a meaningful comment - Maybe the baseball bat is not a bad idea after all ;).

Juan Carlos, I sympathize with you, but there's no useful solution that you can _impose_ on your users. They aren't "forgetting" to enter commit comments. The dialog pops up everytime, so they have to deliberately dismiss it. If they see no reason to write a comment, then they aren't going to do it. If they are forced to write _something_, they'll write garbage. You are going to have to change their attitude, not their software settings. Good luck, Merrill
