[cvsnt] Loginfo admin file

[Bo Berglund]

CVS is designed to process one directory at a time. So there will always be
a separate call to loginfo for each module directory.

I have handled this by identifying the process ID of the calling process
because that always stays the same throughout an operation. It is available
on the command line as cvs "environment variable" $CVSPID on the command
line inside loginfo.
Then I collect the information into a "digest" and finally (after a delay 
from the first call with this process ID) I process the collected data.

Note:
You cannot use the $CVSPID directly as an identifier because Win NT very
quickly reuses PID numbers for new calls if the previous user has finished.
I solved this by using the PID as a handle into the system and extracted the
start timestamp of the process as a unique identifier.

(this is used in my CVSMailer program available here:

HTH,
Bo

Subject: [cvsnt] Loginfo admin file


Hi,

I've been experimenting with the loginfo admin file and I'm having some
problems. When committing files from multiple directories, the loginfo
script gets called once per directory. Is it possible to configure it so
that it gets called once per commit? Or is there some way to tie the
multiple loginfo calls together for the same commit? How do other people
handle this?

Regards,
Andy
