Loginfo

The `loginfo' file is used to control where `cvs commit' log information is sent. The first entry on a line is a regular expression which is tested against the directory that the change is being made to, relative to the $CVSROOT. If a match is found, then the remainder of the line is a filter program that should expect log information on its standard input.

The filter program may use one and only one % modifier (a la printf). If `%s' is specified in the filter program, a brief title is included (enclosed in single quotes) showing the modified file names.

If the repository name does not match any of the regular expressions in this file, the `DEFAULT' line is used, if it is specified.

If the name `ALL' appears as a regular expression it is always used in addition to any matching regular expression or `DEFAULT'.

All matching regular expressions are used.

See section The commit support files, for a description of the syntax of the `loginfo' file.
