Subject: 26.3; vc-log CVS commit message includes "Summary: "
Date: Wed, 08 Apr 2020 11:42:31 +0100

When creating a CVS commit through VC the commit message will include
the literal text "Summary :" instead of treating the field as a
header. From a quick search it seems this was introduced for version
24.4, but the fix for a related bug report looks to be specific to
Subversion.

Related previous bug:
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=18954

...and the patch which changed the behaviour for Subversion:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/patch/lisp/vc?id=a59071372884552279edf9c62bfb1aa558ec6db2

As noted in the previous bug report:

"I'm puzzled, however, why hasn't anyone else reported this problem by
now? Maybe nobody uses most of those, but what about CVS? Do its users
just stay on older Emacs versions?"

I can confirm that the same issue exists, although maybe there should be
better way to opt in or out of the behaviour instead of hard-coding it per
provider?

Thanks,
Morgan

I guess nobody uses CVS these days...

I've now fixed this in Emacs 28 for cvs.

That sounds like a better structure here, but I guess it's difficult as
some providers use some of the headers, and others don't, if I
understand things correctly.

I use CVS to edit gnu.org web pages.
