 C.3.6 Loginfo
 -------------
 
 The `loginfo' file is used to control where log information is sent
 after versioned changes are made to repository archive files and after
 directories are added ot the repository.   posttag for how to
 log tagging information and  postadmin for how to log changes
 due to the `admin' command.
 
    The `loginfo' file has the standard form for script hooks (
 Trigger Scripts), where each line is a regular expression followed by
 a command to execute.  It supports the ALL and DEFAULT keywords.
 
    Any specified scripts are called:
 
 `commit'
      Once per directory, immediately after a successfully completing
      the commit of all files within that directory.
 
 `import'
      Once per import, immediately after completion of all write
      operations.
 
 `add'
      Immediately after the successful `add' of a directory.
 
    Any script called via `loginfo' will be fed the log information on
 its standard input.  Note that the filter program *must* read *all* of
 the log information from its standard input or CVS may fail with a
 broken pipe signal.
 
    In addition to the common format strings ( syntax), `loginfo'
 supports:
 
 {sVv}
      File attributes, where:
     s
           file name
 
     V
           old version number (pre-checkin)
 
     v
           new version number (post-checkin)
 
    For example, some valid format strings are `%%', `%s', `%{s}', and
 `%{sVv}'.
 
    Currently, if `UseNewInfoFmtStrings' is not set in the `config'
 administration file ( config), the format strings will be
 substituted as they were in past versions of CVS, but this feature is
 deprecated.  It is simply in place so that legacy repositories will
 remain compatible with the new CVS application.  For information on
 updating, please see  Updating Commit Files.
 
    As an example, if `/u/src/master/yoyodyne/tc' is the repository, `%p'
 and `%{sVv}' are the format strings, and three files (ChangeLog,
 Makefile, foo.c) were modified, the output might be:
 
      yoyodyne/tc ChangeLog 1.1 1.2 Makefile 1.3 1.4 foo.c 1.12 1.13
 
    Note: when CVS is accessing a remote repository, `loginfo' will be
 run on the _remote_ (i.e., server) side, not the client side (
 Remote repositories).
