RE: cvs and gnats link?

[Chris Cameron]

The linkage we have in place between CVS and gnats is the following:
a. in parts of our repository you have to enter a gnats PR and database into
the log message
b. if a gnats PR and database are in the cvs log message, the PR must be in
a defined state for the commit to succeed
c. the cvs log message is automatically added to the top of the fix: field
in the gnats PR

That is all we have.
