hook into cvs AFTER tag?

[Michael Muller]

I have a "staging" sandbox that I would like to keep up-to-date with the 
versions of my files tagged as "release candidates" (tag name: "RC").

My original plan was to put a command in the .taginfo file that does a 
"cvs update" in the staging sandbox (which was checked out with "-r 
RC").  This plan was foiled by the fact that .taginfo is called BEFORE 
the tagging occurs.

Does anyone have any suggestion as to how I can perform some action 
server-side AFTER the tagging occcurs?

I've had two ideas, both of which I don't like:

1) have .taginfo run something in the background that sleeps for some 
period that is longer than my tag command could ever take and then wakes 
up and updates the sandbox

2) have a cron job that updates the sandbox periodically

I don't like either of these options because there's a delay and there 
is no user feedback when it's done.

Does anyone have any better ideas?

Thanks in advance,

  -- Mike
