Yes; depending on what you want to do exactly, you may use the loginfo file, or postcommand... See <http://www.cvsnt.org/manual/html/commit-files.html> for the common file syntax.

If you want to allow/deny the commit operation depending on some criteria, use the commitinfo file. If you only want to process the file once the operation is complete, use the loginfo or postcommit file. > 2 - Where is the "notify" file supposed to be put?

See <http://www.cvsnt.org/manual/html/Intro-administrative-files.html#id2532964> and <http://www.cvsnt.org/manual/html/Repository-storage.html#CVSROOT-storage> for info on how to checkout and edit the files. Basically you have to checkout the CVSROOT module, edit the commitinfo file (or whatever file you want to use) and commit it again. There is only one set of files per repository; you can have different actions for different modules (depending on the filter specified on each line). -- Gabriel Genellina
