The CVSROOT/commitinfo script handles checks before the commit is accepted.
If the commitinfo process returns a nonzero value then the commit
is aborted.
Do something omething like this in the commitinfo processor:
1. Read the commitinfo data, in your case especially the log message
2. Check that the user has conformed to your requirements
3. If OK then resturn 0 after doing nothing
4. If some error then print a message to standard out then exit with code 1
This makes the commit fail and the user sees your message on his console.

Subject: [cvsnt] How to inform user of empty log message during commit


Hi,

    How do I go about setting up CVSNT so that a user who commit their
changes with empty log message would be prevented from doing so.

    I have had a look at verifymsg but it seems that nothing I put in there
gets runned.

    Is verifymsg the only file I need to update? If not what are the other
files?

    Does anyone have an example?

    All the documentation I have found so far pertains to UNIX/Linux and
uses shell scripts rather than DOS batch command.

    I have Cygwin installed and can fire up sh/bash if required.

    A sample collection of CVSROOT files showing how it is done would
probably be able to guide me along the way.

Cheers
