How to get the branch name into the commitlog and email message

[Cloud Burst]

Hi.  

Running CVS 1.11.2 and a log_accum script from way before that.  

I'm trying to get the branch name into the commitlog and the email 
that goes out, but I'll be damned if I can see how it's done.  

The log_accum script was hacked a little (a long while ago) to get 
the email From set correctly and the subject line looking right, 
but not very much else, since it was checked in, anyway.  

Also, in the loginfo file at the end of the line that calls the 
log_accum script is 

  ${Vvts} 

Anybody know what this does or is supposed to do?  I don't think 
it does very much.  

Thanks.
