The commitinfo script is called regardless of the use of -m"blabla" or
- -F"my-log-entry-file" ... 

In really old versions of cvs (1.9.x), the trigger that was used for
checking the log message was the editinfo trigger and it was bypassed
if -m"message" or -F"filename" was called. The verifymsg trigger was
added to always check the log message for the commit.

If I had to guess, I would say that the difference in triggers you are
seeing is related to the now deprecated editinfo trigger.

This is very ancient. I urge you to consider updating to cvs 1.11.9.

However, for now if you are trying to run the 'cvs status' command
within one of the cvs triggers, you will need to add the '-n' switch as
in 'cvs -n status' in order to avoid running into a deadlock situation
of waiting to acquire a lock in a directory for which you already have a
write lock.
