Quite often these days, CVS is not something that you choose -- you get
chosen by CVS, much as you get chosen by Microsoft operating systems and
development tools, simply because it's ubiquitous. Like it or not, there's
not much respect for original design goals in the ways of the world.

Hi,
At work I've installed cvs and we now have a cvs repository which all
developers access through the pserver. All accounts are mapped to the same
userid (so the CVSROOT/passwd file is user:passwd:cvsaccount for every
user).
When I use the loginfo method to automatically send mail about the

I have evidence to the contrary. I just tested it using :pserver:
Hello,
Do the developers also have UNIX accounts? Then don't use the CVSROOT/passwd
file, I don't think there's any really good reason to use it.
It's easier to set up a phony shell that doesn't allow logins and use
the UNIX user account system if you don't want people logging into the
box.
Hello,
Well, if I was using CVS from remote and SSH was installed on the
server side, and I had a UNIX account on the server side, I would set
these environment variables :

Then do "cvs command".

Greg's statement below is flatly untrue. We've discussed this very topic

I'd argue that I do get it; you just don't get that I get it.
Your statement "CVS literally cannot support binary files..." should be changed to
"CVS does not currently support binary files in a way that is consistent with the
philosophy of concurrent editing".

Hi,
Is there any facility in CVS to add hooks for customized actions?
For instance, requiring a Bug Number when you check in a file,
verifying that bugnum against your defect tracking system, etc.
If not are there any projects underway to address this?

Inserting a registrar into CVS to allow shops and users to specify the

the CVS design, but it is a small generalization.
