Commitinfo examples

[cvs]

I'm trying to deal with some users who habitually commit "useless" changes
to files.  By "useless" I mean whitespace changes at the front and end of
line, changing the position of curly-braces, etc.  While I would love to
flog these people I've been told it would be bad for morale.  My managers
want me to find a way to enforce, through CVS, some basic coding
standards.

We run CVS 1.11.5 (willing to upgrade) pserver on an old Solaris 5.6 box.

I looked through the code for commit_prep in the contrib directory and
understand it, but it looks like it is designed to run in the local
directory.   This may be a problem since we use pserver (behind a firewall
on a secure sub-network).

So...  Am I reading the commit_prep script wrong?  Would it work over
pserver?  If so I could use it as a base for what I'm looking for.  If not
is there any way to do what I'm looking for over pserver?
