For each file and directory the client sends something like this to the server:

file Updated Created Update-existing Merged Patched Rcs-diff Update-baserev 
Mode Mod-time Removed Renamed Remove-entry Set-static-directory Clear-static-

The server replies with something like:
Notified ./
r:/acca/TUITIONPROVIDER/ACCA-data-sources.xml

So the server probably needs a new verb - something like NotifyAllUser.  
Simply sending something like 'NotifyUser *' would cause existing servers like 
CVS 1.11 or CVSNT 2.0/2.5 to look for the literal name '*' (need to check 
this - there is a remote possibility that the check is already done using 
regular expressions).

2011-01-21 15:48 AEST by Arthur Barrett - The name matching happens in editor_set() in edit.cpp by calling 

   fileattr_find(handle,"editor[@name=U'%s']",editor)

The fileattr_find() function is in fileattr.cpp and uses CXmlNode->Lookup().

CXmlNode::Lookup() is a part of XmlApi in CVSAPI.  The 'U' in the comparison 
tells lookup to use usercmp() - other options are fncmp() and strcmp().  On 
windows usercmp() is defined to stricmp().

So an 'easy' way to solve this would be to add a new compare type 'allcmp' and 
use a different 'find' for cases where 'editor=*', ie:

   if (*editor=='*')
   fileattr_find(handle,"editor[@name=A'%s']",editor)

Where allcmp is defined as '0' (ie: always return match).  Alternatively we 
can create a regexcmp.
