I've been fixing a couple tidbits here and there. In my CVS commit message I make sure I have, on a separate line (and sometimes this will be the whole of the message if the bug is self-explanatory):
Fix bug #123456
It probably doesn't matter what text people use, but having a number/pound sign "#" before the bug is a good thing. I've seen people do some cool automagical things with CVS commit messages and Perl, and having a marker for the bug number definitely helps.
Pardon intrusion by a non-expert, but are you just talking about bugs in documentation? What exactly do you mean by your "CVS commit"? Commit to what?
I have just been submitting a bugzilla on FC-4 (nothing to do with documentation) and found the whole process rather daunting. A bit like a conversation in a foreign language. I can't believe that this is the best way to document and resolve bugs.
But this is probably OT here, in which case please ignore me.
