-If you haven't changed all of those files, just commit the rest in the stated
-order (e.g. cvs commit acconfig.h config.h.in stamp-h.in). The reason for
-the sequence is the RCS Id strings in the edited files -- they change when
-you commit the changes.
+The reason for the three-step commit is that configure.in contains the RCS $Id
+keyword, so when you commit it, a new version is written locally. Therefore,
+the autoconf regeneration should be held off until after the commit, or your
+local stamp-h.in will become out-of-sync with the CVS version (granted, not that
+big a deal). For the second step, you're doing the same commands as a
+`make reset' would do, but using that command would require extra configure runs
+to make Makefile be up-to-date.
