Question : Badly formatted commitlog entries and incorrect mail messages

Subject: Question : Badly formatted commitlog entries and incorrect mail messages.

Hi,

We use CVS at my company and we have problems sporadically with the email
messages that get sent out when a commit is done.  Our loginfo file is setup to
use the 'log_accum' script to send email messages when a commit is done.  This
always works well.  THe trouble is that sometimes, the messages contain
incorrect information.  Some of the messages list multiple files that were not
part of the checkin.  

I looked at our commitlog file and noticed that all is not well.  THe usual
format is 

     CVSROOT: VALUE
     Module name: VALUE
     Repository: VALUE
     Changes by: VALUE

     Modified files: list of files.

     Log Message:  Message that was part of the checkin.

     CVSROOT: (Values for next checkin)...
     ...

However, in the case of mangled messages, The log contains the following fields
: 

     CVSROOT: VALUE
     Module name: VALUE
     Repository: VALUE
     Changes by: VALUE

     Modified files: list of files.

     Log message:  Message that was part of the checkin.

     Modified files: Another list of files

     Log message: Another log message

     Modified files: Yet Another list of files
     Log message: Yet another log message

Our checkins are done from a Unix machine and from NT machines (using WinCVS). 
We use a template for our checkins and the template is shown by default in the
editor when people do a checkin from a Unix machine.  This is not true for
checkins via WinCVS.


I am trying to figure out why this is happening.  Can someone Please tell me
how the commitlog file is created?  Which script is writing to the commitlog
file?  How can I get it to print the complete set of fields to the file?  Has
anyone else had this problem before?

I'd appreciate any help I can get on this matter.

Thanks,
sb
