Hi Greg -
I'm interested in trying out your patch, and
have been working in a similar area. I have added a "d"
format specifier that will include the revision number of
the "dead" revision when a file is deleted. (We need this
to get the rcs log message for the deleted file so we
can scan the message for a numerical identifier to hook
it to an external "commit notice" facility.)
I'm particularly interested in your "t" specifier, as I was
thinking along similar lines. One question - will {t} retrieve
the cvs branch name? Or will it only retrieve a tag associated
with the specific revision that was committed?
I would like a format specifier that finds the branch tag
for a commited file... I was thinking about using "b".
Thanks very much for sharing your work.
