[Cvs-cvs] Re: Preprocessing of commited file

[Derek R. Price]

My apologies, but I do not usually respond to direct, unsolicited CVS
help requests.  Please see the large amount of CVS documentation
available from <http://ximbiot.com>, use the public <address@hidden>
mailing list or, if you are in a hurry, would like to guarantee a
discussion with one of the registered CVS developers, or if you would
simply like to help support the future of CVS development, you might
wish to consider purchasing a CVS support contract from Ximbiot
<http://ximbiot.com>.

The knowledgeable staff at Ximbiot will verify
reproducible bugs you report, file them in the proper data stores, and
sometimes fix them, in addition to providing solutions and work arounds
for other problems.  Ximbiot also offers CVS training for
beginning through advanced CVS users and administrators and for large
and small groups, as well as contract labor for projects outside the
scope of a CVS support contract.  Write <address@hidden> for more
information.

Thank you for your time.
