How to check in changes?

[Thomas M. <mat...@ph...>]

Hi

I have made a bunch of improvements to gnuplot fitting.
They are in src/fit.c, plus some changes to demo/fit.dem.
They are described in a separate message.

How do I commit the changes?  I started by CVS downloading
gnuplot 4.1, made my changes, and have done a CVS update since
making my changes, so I should be in synch with everyone else.

But when I tried to CVS commit, I got a broken pipe abort.
I'm working on a Linux system.

I have also made some new short demo files to demonstrate
the reason for and effect of the improvements.  These would
be new files, and they are really for developers rather than
users.  How should they be handled?

Finally, the documentation should be changed to reflect the
changes in fitting.  What is the proper way to edit the source
for documentation, and to test the changes?


                                         Cheers
