Hi Kumar,
that´s the way, I solved this problem:
I created a file called "branchwatches" and added it to the
CVS-repository.
Each line of this file is a triple of the form path,branchname,mailadress
I made it "self-outchecking" like the most CVSROOT-files.
Then I put a line into loginfo to invoke a script I called
"aftercommit.pl".
It is placed in the CVSROOT-module and also "self-outchecking" (noted in
checkoutlist).
This script parses the "branchwatches"-file and checks file by file, if
the commit is
into a path and on a branch, that is written in the "branchwatches"-file.
This works fine and as a side-effect, this allows directory-watching
(CVS only serves file-watching).
Greetings Heiko
