As an addition to my previous message, I remembered how to get the
pre-commit script to show up on the server side.  In the CVSROOT checkout,
there is a file called "checkoutlist" that tells the server what files in
CVSROOT should be checked out on the server side.

Here is how to add the pre-commit check:

1.)  Checkout the CVSROOT admin directory on a client.

  cd $BOOST_ROOT
  cvs co CVSROOT
  cd CVSROOT

2.)  Write your commit checker script, make it executable, and add it.

  chmod 755 boost_commit_checker.sh
  cvs add boost_commit_checker.sh

3.)  Edit the checkoutlist file and add this line:

  boost_commit_checker.sh  Server could not checkout pre-commit checker.

4.)  Edit the commitinfo file and add this line:

  ALL $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/boost_commit_checker.sh

5.)  Commit all these changes.  The server will update its administration
     database automatically.

   cvs commit -m "Added pre-commit checker."

I suggest that you get this setup with an empty script like

  #!/bin/sh
  exit 0

to make sure you don't lock yourself out.  You can then write and test the
script separately.  The pre-commit check program must be able to execute
on the SERVER, so you need to know that your script will run there.
