Re: Does pre-commit script with a remote server?

[Howard Zhou]

The issue with this problem is that commitinfo and editinfo scripts are not
executed until you finish editing cvs log interactively. That's probably
because :ext: method uses rsh.

Now if I use :pserver: method, I still have the same problem. Is :pserver:
using rsh too?
