Why does this matter?

On the server side of the client/server connection, the CVSROOT looks
like a simple pathname to the files on the local filesystem.

The most likely distinction might be that you are passing the ${USER}
token on the commitinfo line. If you are mapping your usernames into
fewer pserver accounts, then comparing that value with the real
enviornment value of USER might help make the distinction you desire.

        Good luck,
