Here are other notes to CVS committers that should be written as guidelines
for all to follow:

Note to all, please add to this list what you think should go in, this
will then be
summarized and put it as a guidelines page.

- Upon committing a new module or theme, add a concise description of
what the module does or how this theme is unique (e.g. fluid/fixed, tables/css,
...etc.)

- Try to not commit every issue separately. If you plan to fix three issues,
then do not commit three times. Better do one commit with the three fixes
in it.

- Do not commit every file separately when initially committing a module.
Do a cvs add on all the files that need to go in, then do a cvs commit to
check them into the repository.

- Make sure you have the -kkv and not -kk, specially if you use Eclipse

- Use the format following format for commits that relate to an issue:

#nodeid description-goes-here, by patch-contributor
On Drupal.org, the commits will be automatically linked to the issue.

- Do not post the entire URL of the issue on Drupal.org.

- ???
