There are a couple of ways to do what you want.

One way would be to 'remember' the kind of testing you wish to do by
writing appropriate information in your commitinfo trigger and then
refer to it from your verifymsg trigger. This method should work for
either client/server or local mode commits and is probably the more
flexible of the approaches, but probably require the most work.

Another way would be to use 'cvs -n status -l' each time the verifymsg
is run in order to get a list of files in the current directory that are
being committed. This works in client/server mode (either :ext: or
:pserver:), but not in local mode.

You may wish to examine how contrib/commit_prep and contirb/log_accum
save/use information between triggers for ideas.
