There was a patch posted to this group a while ago, to add revision 
information to the rest of the information passed to commitinfo.  Check
out 
the following at cvshome.org for more details:

http://www.cvshome.org/cyclic/cvs/dev-commitinfo.txt
http://www.cvshome.org/dev/patches/commitinfo

These both seem to be pointers to the same patch, but I haven't
confirmed 
this.  This patch will require changes to all your commitinfo scripts.
