[cvsnt] administrative file for cvs add

[Dulat Simon]

Thanks Bo and Tony for your quick answers!
Unfortunately I guess I am on the wrong mailing list. Actually I am not
running CVSNT but CVS in a Unix/Linux environment. On CVS there is no
precommand script, or is there?
Do you know by chance of a workaround on CVS?

Thanks a lot,
Simon
