Re: taginfo file

[Rickard Parker]

I have not had a problem getting large numbers of tagged files logged.
I'm using CVS 1.11.1p1 on Red Hat Linux release 6.2

In my taginfo file I have the directive:
    DEFAULT /cvsroot/SCRIPTS/record_tagging


Here are some **PIECES** of code I have in
/cvsroot/SCRIPTS/record_tagging, a Bourne shell script.


    make_entry_for_taglog()
    {
    cat << EOT
    $DATE $USER $@
    EOT
    }

    # Now log the tag or build info
    if $LOG_TAG_MSG
    then
        make_entry_for_taglog $@ >> $TAG_LOG
    fi

    # Notify release engineering (and others) when
    # certain tags are played with
    if $SEND_TAG_MAIL
    then
        make_entry_for_taglog $@ | \
            /usr/bin/mail -s "Tagging of $tagname by $USER" "$mail_list"
    fi

The log and mail message get a string like this:
    20010723_112315 rparker TAGNAME add /cvsroot/releng README 1.1 file2
1.3 file3 1.1 file4 1.3 file5 1.3 file6 1.1


This record_tagging script also checks what the tagging action is and
whther it is working on a branch or a special tag (we use naming
conventions to make checking easier).  The script will forbid users
from doing things like deleting tags used for builds.
