 Loginfo
 -------
 
    The `loginfo' file is used to control where `cvs commit' log
 information is sent.  The first entry on a line is a regular expression
 which is tested against the directory that the change is being made to,
 relative to the `$CVSROOT'.  If a match is found, then the remainder of
 the line is a filter program that should expect log information on its
 standard input.
 
    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
 `DEFAULT'.
 
    The first matching regular expression is used.
 
     commit files, for a description of the syntax of the
 `loginfo' file.
 
    The user may specify a format string as part of the filter.  The
 string is composed of a `%' followed by a space, or followed by a single
 format character, or followed by a set of format characters surrounded
 by `{' and `}' as separators.  The format characters are:
 
 s
      file name
 
 V
      old version number (pre-checkin)
 
 v
      new version number (post-checkin)
 
    All other characters that appear in a format string expand to an
 empty field (commas separating fields are still provided).
 
    For example, some valid format strings are `%', `%s', `%{s}', and
 `%{sVv}'.
 
    The output will be a space separated string of tokens enclosed in
 quotation marks (").  Any embedded dollar signs ($), backticks (`),
 backslashes (\), or quotation marks will be preceded by a backslash
 (this allows the shell to correctly parse it as a single string,
 reguardless of the characters it contains).  For backwards
 compatibility, the first token will be the repository subdirectory.
 The rest of the tokens will be comma-delimited lists of the information
 requested in the format string.  For example, if
 `/u/src/master/yoyodyne/tc' is the repository, `%{sVv}' is the format
 string, and three files (ChangeLog, Makefile, foo.c) were modified, the
 output might be:
 
      "yoyodyne/tc ChangeLog,1.1,1.2 Makefile,1.3,1.4 foo.c,1.12,1.13"
 
    As another example, `%{}' means that only the name of the repository
 will be generated.
 
    Note: when CVS is accessing a remote repository, `loginfo' will be
 run on the _remote_ (i.e., server) side, not the client side (
 Remote repositories).
