You still have a misconfigured editor.


CVS is just a tool for keeping versioned files. Versioned files are
important. For one, it gives a paper trail. If you work on a file you
really should be using it.

As for diffs. How else are you going to team work on a file?

As for bug reports. People should be introduced into a system of getting
help on a computer, besides that of calling someone with a script.
