Normally you should make changes by editing a copy and then doing a 
check-in.  Changes that you made by directly editing the CVSROOT files 
on the server, will be overwritten by the check-in.

So, you should ensure that your copy of commitinfo has been corrected, 
and then you can commit it.  This will bring everything in sync, and 
thereafter, you should not need to edit directly on the server anymore.

I would suggest you go through the CVSspam installation guide again, in 
particular make sure that you have made approprate changes to the files 
'commitinfo', 'loginfo', and 'checkedoutlist'.
