First, you should direct questions regarding CVSZilla to Tony Carnock-Jones as there is no direct relationship between the cvshome.org version of cvs and CVSZilla.
It would appear that Tony is suggesting/requesting that you download the sources for cvs, modify the src/commit.c file such that you add the source line:
run_arg (li->tag ? li->tag : ".");
to the precommit_list_proc() function by applying the patch that they have provided in the commit.branch file. You are then to configure and build this modified set of cvs sources and install it and then and use this modified version of cvs if you want to use CVSZilla.
The commit.branch appears to have the following comment before the part you quoted:
# Checks that the specified branches are valid for the given files. # Branch may be "." for head.
Tony, if you need/want extensions to the cvshome.org cvs version, please feel free to write a patch that explains what you need done and has a sanity.sh test for it and submit it to address@hidden for consideration.
Good luck, -- Mark
