problem with -m option for ci and import when using commitinfo,loginfo, rcsinfo and verifymsg

[Sandrine Boulanger]

Hi,

I'm using the commitinfo,loginfo, rcsinfo and verifymsg to call some scripts that are parsing the information. The purpose is to control the information entered and automatically send e-mails with information about the changes.
rcsinfo is calling rcstemplate, which defines the template used in the log message.

Problems:

1) Issue with cvs import -m - High priority
when using cvs import -m "description of the import" <module> <vendor> <tag>, it looks like the command interprets the description between the quotes as arguments for the import, and instead of importing <module>, it considers the first word as the log message, the second word as the module to import, the third word as the vendor tag, and the rest as release tags. Then, it imports the files within <module> under $CVSROOT/<first word of the description>
Any clue ?

2) Issue with cvs ci -m - Medium priority
when using cvs ci -m "description" ...., as no editor is called to enter the log message, the template defined in rcstemplate is not called. Is there any way to force the content of the "description" to be paste in the template ?

Thanks for any reply,

Sandrine.
