[cvsnt] Lost changes

[Ian Epperson]

We're not coding in any mainstream language.  We write programs for A/V
control systems such as AMX and Crestron, and they use a proprietary IDE and
language.
 
Many many times have I wished it were different...

Maybe you should try using an IDE that allows CVS commits from within it: 


    -Codewright (Powerful and powerfully expensive) 


    -PeggyPro (Powerful, works fine, but lacking help files) 


or add a script/key/button to your IDE that does a SaveAll followed by a
commit. It's just too easy to miss the save step when committing from
outside the IDE, and then you either loose the changes (IDE auto-loads
changed files), or parts of the changes (only what was saved is committed). 


Do you have the IDE set to SaveAll before a compile/debug? That would ensure
that anything that has been compiled has been saved, and is therefore "safe"
to commit.
