cvs complaining about the -m option when trying to commit

61 views Asked by At

I have been stumped on this for the 2 days now. What a waste of time. When I do cvs -H commit the -m option is there

When I check the history of commands on our linux box, so many programmers have executed the same command and they swear it has worked

Checking google - ONE person seems to have an issue, posted it on forum and it has NO solution see

Am I doing something so maddeningly so dumb ? Please help me.

cvs -d :something:mycvs_srv:/cvs/repo commit -f –m "bug fix" ctxroot/path/to/code.txt
cvs commit: nothing known about `–m'
cvs commit: nothing known about `bug fix'
cvs [commit aborted]: correct above errors first!
