You can modify the loginfo file in CVSROOT to set up commit emails to be
sent whenever a commit occurs. There are scripts that come with CVS in
contrib (e.g. log and log_accum), which can be used to do most of what you
want. Just add an entry to loginfo that passes things like the email address
to send to the script.
