Generally you would need to plug this into the loginfo script, it
executes after the commit has succeeded. Using commitinfo means that
you are called before the commit (in order to approve or disapprove
the whole commit operation).

John Peacock wrote a website synchronization tool for CVSNT that does
what I think you are after. Links are available from the DevGuy site:

It is supposedly also on SourceForge, but I have not found it there.
