 ------
 
+* Working around the CVSNT multiple directory commit bug
 
+  Windows NT CVS does not correctly handle multiple commits in different directories.  A work around has been created.
+  To work around this error add the following to your settings.xml.  The release plugin will then check in each file 
+  using a cvs command for each.  While this increases release time, all files will be checked in.
