+(0) Each commit should correspond to a single change (whether spread
+ over multiple files or not). Do not mix different changes in the
+ same commit (eg adding a feature in one file, fixing a bug in
+ another should be two commits, not one).
+
(1) Commit all changed files at once with a single log message (which
in CVS will result in an identical log message for all committed
files), not one-by-one. This is pretty easy using vc-dir now.
