Hi Mario,

[Please note that use of invalid Email addresses
in posing questions to the info-cvs group is
considered bad manners. It is easy enough to get
free email addresses when you want to ask
questions. Please do so in future as I suspect
that address@hidden may not be a valid email

There is no difference.

   cvs commit       # the name of the cvs command
   cvs ci           # a name familiar to RCS users (the RCS 'ci' command)
   cvs com          # a unique substring of commit

all cause the same action which is the equivalnt
of the RCS 'ci' (also known as the RCS 'checkin'
command) command be run for each of the files that
have changed.

In a similar manner, the names of the commands to perform a 'cvs checkout'
are also known by the following names:

   cvs checkout     # the name of the cvs command
   cvs co           # a name familiar to RCS users (the RCS 'co' command)
   cvs get          # a name familiar to SCCS users(the 'SCCS get' command)

I hope you find answer this useful.

        Enjoy!
