 Commitinfo
 ----------
 
    The `commitinfo' file defines programs to execute whenever `cvs
 commit' is about to execute.  These programs are used for pre-commit
 checking to verify that the modified, added and removed files are really
 ready to be committed.  This could be used, for instance, to verify
 that the changed files conform to to your site's standards for coding
 practice.
 
    As mentioned earlier, each line in the `commitinfo' file consists of
 a regular expression and a command-line template.  The template can
 include a program name and any number of arguments you wish to supply
 to it.  The full path to the current source repository is appended to
 the template, followed by the file names of any files involved in the
 commit (added, removed, and modified files).
 
    The first line with a regular expression matching the directory
 within the repository will be used.  If the command returns a non-zero
 exit status the commit will be aborted.
 
    If the repository name does not match any of the regular expressions
 in this file, the `DEFAULT' line is used, if it is specified.
 
    All occurrences of the name `ALL' appearing as a regular expression
 are used in addition to the first matching regular expression or the
 name `DEFAULT'.
 
    Note: when CVS is accessing a remote repository, `commitinfo' will
 be run on the _remote_ (i.e., server) side, not the client side (
 Remote repositories).
