Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to CVS log messages

Yes, cvs commit without the -m will pop up an editor window, whatever you have specified in either your EDITOR or VISUAL environment variables, I forget which (probably EDITOR). So in your .profile or .bashrc you probably want something like:
EDITOR="xemacs -nw"
VISUAL=$EDITOR
export VISUAL EDITOR
