Re: Detect Branch in CVS

[Mark D. Baushke]

Hi Howard,

I believe you will find that 

        cvs -n status

may be used inside of a cvs commit trigger with no problems.

My loginfo triggers use

        cvs -Qn status $file

in order to get the new version number of each of the files committed
which I include in the e-mail summary of the commit.

        Enjoy!
