Unless -f is specified modified options will not be propogated back to the server." Thank you for the help! ...but again I found something outdated in the documentation. The example for "commit -f" reads: "If the current revision of file is 1.7, then the following two commands are equivalent: $ cvs commit -f file $ cvs commit -r 1.8 file" As far as I know "commit -r" has been cancelled.
