  84                   <p>Both files4ecr and files4cr will suffer this same problem. Let's say we had an E/CR with 10 files modified.  If at some later time one of these 10 files is changed, or another file modified with this same E/CR number it will show up in the CVS Report as only that one file modified since the CVS Report goes from some base tag to some other tag (e.g. head). The difference between those tags is only that one file - rightfully so.</p>
  85
  86 <p>However both files4ecr and files4cr work off of the E/CR number identifying <b>all</b> files associated with that E/CR number, irrespective of any other tags that they might have. So the files4cr in the above scenario would pick up all 11 files!</p>
  87
  88 <p>Now according to CVS a commit command should not commit files that have not been modified. The question is what does CVS use to determine that a file has been modified? Contents modified or just say date/timestamp modified? It appears that it's content modified</p>
  89
  90 <p>Still this makes files4[e]cr not very efficient. For example, CR #542 consists of ~3200 files that were modified. Since the last dev build 17 more files were modified. But files4cr picks up ~3200 files! If we are to transfer these over to GD then commit that seems like a large waste of effort</p>
