Re: pcl-cvs and precommit scripts

Harlan> One project I work on uses a precommit CVS script to allow for bugID Harlan> tracking as part of every commit. Harlan> When I say "allow" I mean it requires us to enter either "new" or a bugID as Harlan> part of every commit. Harlan> When folks do their commits via the commandline, they are prompted for a Harlan> bugID, and if none is given some script is run that [tells them possible Harlan> bugIDs or lets them manually nose around the bugs database].

Harlan> In this case, is there an easy way to customize cvs-mode-changelog-commit Harlan> and cvs-mode-commit so that the generated log message buffer begins with Harlan> "BugID: "? Harlan> H Hi Harlan, you may want to take a look at patcher.
