I still can't get this right.... For testing purposes I have tried to insert a 
line like this in commitinfo:

Testmodules/kha/testacl AllowCommitOnHead -user:$USER -allowedusers:kha -restrictedfiles:OnlyKHACommitOnHead.txt

where the cmd line arguments are some I parse to the AllowCommitOnHead batch file, which use the arguemnts to determine whether a commit is allowed. In addition to these arguments,
cvsnt adds the module, that is Testmodules/kha/testacl to the script, but how do I get hold of the list of files that are being committed to that folder? 

I need those as weel in the script. 

As John wrote, these files are supplied on stdin, but how do I parse that to the script as an additional argument?

Had it only been in a file like loginfo, where %s, could have been used easily.....

Cheers,

Kim
