(cvs) syntax

Info Catalog (cvs) commit files (cvs) commitinfo
 
 The common syntax
 -----------------
 
    The administrative files such as `commitinfo', `loginfo', `rcsinfo',
 `verifymsg', etc., all have a common format.  The purpose of the files
 are described later on.  The common syntax is described here.
 
    Each line contains the following:
    * A regular expression.  This is a basic regular expression in the
      syntax used by GNU emacs.
 
    * A whitespace separator--one or more spaces and/or tabs.
 
    * A file name or command-line template.
 
 Blank lines are ignored.  Lines that start with the character `#' are
 treated as comments.  Long lines unfortunately can _not_ be broken in
 two parts in any way.
 
    The first regular expression that matches the current directory name
 in the repository is used.  The rest of the line is used as a file name
 or command-line as appropriate.
