[cvsnt] Re: How to figure out who made the commit in loginfo?

These are not shell environment variables at all, they are internal CVS
variables that CVS will add to the command line for the program you have
entered on the loginfo line. After this is done CVS launches the selected
process and waits for it to exit.

Don't confuse with generally available variables in the linux shell.

Thank you Bo,

I thought, "$" will be used only by Linux shell and not by Windows shell.
