erratic commit records?

[Clytie Siddall <clytie riverland net au>]

Hi everyone :)

I started asking the cvs people, but it seems to be something I'm doing  
wrong. I wish I could work out what. :(

Christian Rose got me the following data. I have translated or  
completed the translations on all the files on this page...:

http://l10n-status.gnome.org/gnome-2.10/vi/desktop/index.html

down to and including gnome-applets. I have checked them manually,  
string by string, and run them through msgfmt. Once I was satisfied  
there were _no_ missing, incomplete or fuzzy strings, I committed them.  
Yet the data shows several files unchanged. Some commit OK, some don't.

All those files with my name are complete. Where on earth are they??

Please tell me if I'm doing the right thing: I am following the  
instructions on the page about using Gnome cvs as a translator.

1. I  checkout the .po directory of the file I'm translating or editing.

(a) if a HEAD file:

cvs -z3 -d :ext:clyties cvs gnome org:/cvs/gnome co FILENAME/po

(b) if a gnome-2-10 file:

cvs -z3 -d :ext:clyties cvs gnome org:/cvs/gnome -r gnome-2-10  
FILENAME/po

2. I even change the name of the directory on my drive, once I've  
checked it out, to gnome-2-10-FILENAME if it's a gnome-2-10 branch  
file.

3. Once I've finished the file, I change to the gnome/HEAD/FILENAME/po  
or gnome/gnome-2-10/gnome-2-10-FILENAME/po directory and run:

cvs -z3 -d :ext:clyties cvs gnome org:/cvs/gnome up -Pd

4. Then I edit the ChangeLog.

5. Then I run:

cvs commit

which says it's committed the changes.

Please tell me what I'm doing wrong. It's really frustrating to have  
done all that work, and not see it update at all.

:(

Thankyou for any help you can offer.
