examining the '.' directory. The '.' directory is the current
directory and on Unix filesystems is a literal "." entry in the
current directory. This is the default if none is supplied.

v2_fix is modified and so it is commited.

Nothing to do since v2_fix is up to date. So no action was echo printed.
If you desire cvs to be more quiet about these status messages then
you may specify the -q option.
cvs -q commit
Often used options may be specified on a in your ~/.cvsrc file.
