If I Recall Correctly, there is not supposed to be a space between the -r and the 5.0, i.e. your 
line should look like:
cvs commit -m "no message" -r5.0 version_number.h


BTW, if you have any questions that are specific to CVSNT and WinCVS, which is what you are using, I 
would suggest you will get better answers by taking them over to:
