To commit changes in just one file, issue cvs commit foo.lisp
instead of cvs commit (which commits all files).

CVS has no way to commit only some of the changes in a file.
I have made workarounds before such as: cvs diff foo.lisp > my.patch;
cvs update -C foo.lisp; edit my.patch to erase changes I don't want;
patch < my.patch to apply some changes; cvs commit foo.lisp.
Yes, that's a bit of a circumambulation.

Hope this helps,
Robert
