CVS and Bugzilla, was: cvs and gnats link?

[Ellison, Martin [IT]]

cvszilla works with CVS directly.

To be exact, cvszilla is made up of two parts:

- some loginfo scripts that write to the bugzilla database.

- some CGI scripts that provide some reports from the bugzilla database
(links to CVSWeb if you have it installed).

cvszilla (1.0 beta 1) doesn't work with Bugzilla 2.12 or 2.14 because the
bugzilla database schema has changed slightly. This isn't too hard to fix
and one day I might post the patch to the bugzilla list.

cvszilla is quite simple so you can hack it if you need to.
