The verifymsg script for your module is run once per directory after the
commitinfo script is run. For client/server operations, it is run from
the server-side directory that contains a copy of your files that are
being committed.

So, if you run a 'cvs -n status' command, you should be able to parse the
'Sticky Tag:' lines. (You need the '-n' switch so that you will not run
into lock contention problems in the repository.)

If your verifymsg script runs:

   cvs -qn status | grep '^ *Sticky Tag:' | sort -u

The line will contain the branch information for you to separate out
fairly easily using PERL or sed or awk ... depending on what else your
script needs to do.

        Good luck,
