From what I can see browsing the archives at
http://www.egroups.com/list/info-cvs/, at least two people have asked
the question I'd like to ask, but I can't find any answers. My
apologies if I've overlooked it.
I would like a script called from commitinfo to examine the contents
of committed files, making sure they don't have DOS-style line
endings. It's a one-line perl script to do the check, but what I
can't figure out is, how can I get access to the _contents_ of a file
as it's on its way to be committed. I thought it might be in
$CVSROOT/mymodule/mydir/myfile, but it doesn't seem to be there. I
can get the commitinfo script to say "looking in $dirname" and
"checking $filename", and they look right, but it seems that the file
is not there.
The CVS manual (or was it http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/ ?) says that
you can inspect the contents of the file, but nothing seems to say
exactly how that can be accomplished.
(Note: I'd like a solution that works for client/server commits, so
finding the file in the user's working directory is not preferable.
However, if it's the only way, then I would do that.)
