Ok. - but not in the case of client/server - then the script works on the
server machine containing remote repository but not input files. Actually I
had problem finding where the script is invoked at all.

We have another script verifying commit restrictions, but it is based on
file/directory names only, no file content is used, so it works for remote
repository as well.

I need to check the file content before the commit, so I cannot use ,v file
to extract the content, also this would be too costly for my purpose - I
hoped that the file in explicit form is available somewhere.
