Re: Block a file by Commitinfo?

[Paul Sander]

Your commitinfo script is given a list of paths to files about to be  
committed.  Check each file in that list against your naming  
conventions.  Exit with a non-zero status if any of them fail to meet  
your requirements.

This will cause the entire commit to fail, and the user will have rm  
their additions before the commit will succeed.

It would be better if CVS had an addinfo capability, though...
