The files described in 16this section provide other, more flexible, ways to run 17programs whenever something is committed. 18 19There are three kind of programs that can be run on 20commit. They are specified in files in the repository, 21as described below. The following table summarizes the 22file names and the purpose of the corresponding 23programs. 24 25;‘<tt>commitinfo</tt>’ 26: The program is responsible for checking that the commit is allowed. If it exits with a non-zero exit status the commit will be aborted. 27 28;‘<tt>verifymsg</tt>’ 29: The specified program is used to evaluate the log message, and possibly verify that it contains all required fields. This is most useful in combination with the ‘<tt>rcsinfo</tt>’ file, which can hold a log message template (see [[cvs: Rcsinfo#Rcsinfo|rcsinfo]]). 30 31;‘<tt>editinfo</tt>’ 32: The specified program is used to edit the log message, and possibly verify that it contains all required fields. This is most useful in combination with the ‘<tt>rcsinfo</tt>’ file, which can hold a log message template (see [[cvs: Rcsinfo#Rcsinfo|rcsinfo]]). (obsolete) 33 34;‘<tt>loginfo</tt>’ 35: The specified program is called when the commit is complete. It receives the log message and some additional information and can store the log message in a file, or mail it to appropriate persons, or maybe post it to a local newsgroup, or… Your imagination is the limit! 36 37 [[cvs: The common syntax#The common syntax|• syntax]]:: The common syntax 38 [[cvs: Commitinfo#Commitinfo|• commitinfo]]:: Pre-commit checking 39 [[cvs: Verifying log messages#Verifying log messages|• verifymsg]]:: How are log messages evaluated? 40 [[cvs: Editinfo#Editinfo|• editinfo]]:: Specifying how log messages are created 41 (obsolete) 42 [[cvs: Loginfo#Loginfo|• loginfo]]:: Where should log messages be sent? 43 44 45---- 46 47<div class="header"> 48<p> 49Next: [[cvs: Rcsinfo#Rcsinfo|rcsinfo]], Previous: [[cvs: The cvswrappers file#The cvswrappers file|Wrappers]], Up: [[cvs: Reference manual for Administrative files#Reference manual for Administrative files|Administrative files]] |[[cvs: Index#SEC_Contents|Contents]]||[[cvs: Index#Index|Index]]|</p> 50</div> 51This document was generated on <i>a sunny day</i> using [http://www.nongnu.org/texi2html/ <i>texi2html</i>]. 52
