Fw: [cvsnt] Re: CVSNT incompatibility with older servers

Success!

I finally got a loginfo script that works for me. I'm not sure why, but it
seems like "%s %V %v" is somehow different than "%{sVv}".

Here is what I got to work. My loginfo file looks like this:

DEFAULT $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/fix_loginfo.pl %{sVv},$CVSROOT,$USER

fix_loginfo.pl then parses the arguments according to where the commas are
instead of what the ARGV's are, because that is how %{sVv} behaves (if I
pass them individually, I get that funky hang). So my perl looks like this:

my @newARGV = split (/\,/,"@ARGV");
if ($newARGV[0] =~ /(\w+)\/+(\w+) \- New directory\s*/ ) {
    $output = $timestamp." A new directory called ".$2
              ." was created in ".$1." by user ".$newARGV[4];
} else {
    $output = $timestamp." User ".$newARGV[4]
              ." has changed the file '".$newARGV[0]
              ."' from version ".$newARGV[1]
              ." to version ".$newARGV[2];
}

`echo "$output" >> $newARGV[3]/CVSROOT/commitlog `;

Thanks for your help, everyone...

                                       incompatibility with older servers  

Tony and Bo,

Your information here is greatly appreciated. I am going to try to modify
my scripts to check for these cases and see what I come up with. I'll post
back the results...

Directories don't have versions, so the Vv bit is a noop (normally ends
up with a couple of commas at the end IIRC).

The second argument is "- New Directory".
