Including diff output in loginfo/commitlog email message

[ROSmith]

I would like to modify my CVS loginfo file to create a commit email with the
diff as seen from a snippet from [EMAIL PROTECTED] below.

I tried

DEFAULT cvs diff -uw -r %v -r %V %s >>$CVSROOT/CVSROOT/commitlog ;
$CVSROOT/CVSROOT/log.pl %s -f $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/commitlog -m [EMAIL PROTECTED]

but this just caused an infinite wait on the lock file.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks,

Ross
