2010-04-16 09:16 AEST by Arthur Barrett - The manual states:
http://www.cvsnt.org/manual/html/loginfo.html

"As another example, %{} means that only the name of the repository will be generated."

If I test this:
DEFAULT /bin/echo eric test %{}        

it does not work as documented:

Checking in loginfo;
/scotty/CVSROOT/loginfo,v  <--  loginfo
new revision: 1.8; previous revision: 1.7
done
eric test
cvs commit: Rebuilding administrative file database



If I test something else:
DEFAULT /bin/echo %{sVv};


It works OK:

cvs commit: Examining .
Checking in loginfo;
/scotty/CVSROOT/loginfo,v  <--  loginfo
new revision: 1.7; previous revision: 1.6
done
CVSROOT loginfo,1.6,1.7;
cvs commit: Rebuilding administrative file database


tested on:
Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.8.01 (Soolin) Build 3759 (client/server)

2010-04-16 09:19 AEST by Arthur Barrett - Workaround:

Use either $CVSROOT or %r or %R as documented here - (the %{} would just be an alias to one of those):
