[cvsnt] administrative file for cvs add

[Bo Berglund]

Use the precommand script and examine the arguments.
If you exit prtecommand with a non-zero exit code CVSNT will abort the
operation.
You can even print a message to standard out and it will be visible for
the user why the command failed.
See in the CVSNT helpfile (search for precommand).

Best regards,

Bo Berglund

Subject: [cvsnt] administrative file for cvs add

Hi all,
I posted the message below already, but got no answer so far. So I will
try and put the question somewhat different.
Is there an administrative file which controls a cvs add command just
like commitinfo controls a cvs commit command?
It would be great if someone could help me.
Thanks a lot.
Simon
