It is like how the notify script receives the list of users to notify. No limit on amount of text here. But of course then the CVSNT handling differs against the way the Linux/Unix CVS operates. Does this matter? I suggest that the files for tagging can be put on standard input just like they are tacked on the command line today. A space delimited list where every other item is a file and the other the revision. File names enclosed in double quotes to handle the embedded space issue (there should not be spaces anyway...). Or why not use comma separation like on the loginfo script input: filename,revision filename,revision etc. /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
