If you can move from cvs 1.11.x (STABLE) to cvs 1.12.12 (FEATURE), then you could make use of the "posttag" trigger. I urge you to look very carefully at the administrative differences between cvs 1.11.x and cvs 1.12.x releases and do lots of testing before you make the choice. Although we try very hard to make both STABLE and FEATURE work properly on all platforms, it is possible that you may find problems that you need to address with your configuration and use of CVS. > Thanks in advance, > > -- Mike > > -- > Michael Muller > Senior Application Developer, [EMAIL PROTECTED], Inc. > 2503 Walnut Street, Suite 301 Boulder, CO 80302 > http://www.interactivate.com > phone: 303-442-1740 > fax: 303-442-1750 > > This message is intended only for the use of the Addressee and may > contain information that is PRIVILEGED and CONFIDENTIAL.

Because of this, it is not possible to erase all copies of this message. If you need to use some kind of disclaimer for Sarbanes-Oxley, I suggest you get your legal department involved in the real world to come up with a disclaimer that makes sense when communicating with a public mailing list. Failing that, I suggest you consider gettting a personal e-mail address without those restrictions (eg, 'gmail.com' or 'hotmail.com') and use that for futher communications with [email protected] to avoid trying to place any restrictions on the dissemination of your e-mail.
