You can gather together the information during commit step-by-step the
same way OSSP Shiela (http://www.ossp.org/pkg/tool/shiela/) does it by
hooking into the various CVS info hooks. Or you can parse afterwards
the CVSROOT/history file as CVSTrac (http://www.cvstrac.org/) does.
There you also can identify a commit as a whole. If you need immediate
action, use the first attempt. If it is ok to update your database in
time intervals, use the second attempt.
