Yes; thanks.  What I'm actually trying to do is harvest some information
from the pserver connection that should be exposed to commitinfo and the
like (like the -r option to commit--if someone commits a file and says
-r 2.4, there's no way to get that 2.4 inside a commitinfo script).  If
there's a way to get these kinds of things with stock cvs, I'd like to
do that.

Anyhow, I thought I could sniff a bit of extra information via a server
side wrapper and then pass it on (in the environment, perhaps) so my
commitinfo scripts could make use of it.  Guess I can't really do that.

Cheers,
Laird

A while ago there was a patch (against 1.10.7) by John Cavanaugh which
made cvs provide extended information to commitinfo scripts
(AlternateInfo). Maybe you might want to check this out (I messed it
up - I can't find it anymore).
