 ** Usage: %fossil commit ?OPTIONS? ?FILE...?
 **
 ** Create a new version containing all of the changes in the current
 ** checkout.  You will be prompted to enter a check-in comment unless
-** the "-m" option is used to specify a comment line.  You will be
-** prompted for your GPG passphrase in order to sign the new manifest
-** unless the "--nosign" options is used.  All files that have
-** changed will be committed unless some subset of files is specified
-** on the command line.
+** one of the "-m" or "-M" options are used to specify a comment.
+** "-m" takes a single string for the commit message and "-M" requires
+** a filename from which to read the commit message. If neither "-m"
+** nor "-M" are specified then the editor defined in the "editor"
+** fossil option (see %fossil help set) will be used, or from the
+** "VISUAL" or "EDITOR" environment variables (in that order) if no
+** editor is set.

 **
 ** The --branch option followed by a branch name cases the new check-in
 ** to be placed in the named branch.  The --bgcolor option can be followed
 ** by a color name (ex:  '#ffc0c0') to specify the background color of
 ** entries in the new branch when shown in the web timeline interface.
