+# This file affects handling of files based on their names.
+#
+# The -m option specifies whether CVS attempts to merge files.
+#
+# The -k option specifies keyword expansion (e.g. -kb for binary).
+#
+# Format of wrapper file ($CVSROOT/CVSROOT/cvswrappers or .cvswrappers)
+#
+# wildcard [option value][option value]...
+#
+# where option is one of
+# -f from cvs filter value: path to filter
+# -t to cvs filter value: path to filter
+# -m update methodology value: MERGE or COPY
+# -k expansion mode value: b, o, kkv, &c
+#
+# and value is a single-quote delimited value.
+# For example:
+#*.gif -k 'b'

+# Three different line formats are valid:
+# key -a aliases...
+# key [options] directory
+# key [options] directory files...
+#
+# Where "options" are composed of:
+# -i prog Run "prog" on "cvs commit" from top-level of module.
+# -o prog Run "prog" on "cvs checkout" of module.
+# -e prog Run "prog" on "cvs export" of module.
+# -t prog Run "prog" on "cvs rtag" of module.
+# -u prog Run "prog" on "cvs update" of module.
+# -d dir Place module in directory "dir" instead of module name.
+# -l Top-level directory only -- do not recurse.
+#
+# NOTE: If you change any of the "Run" options above, you'll have to
+# release and re-checkout any working directories of these modules.
+#
+# And "directory" is a path to a directory relative to $CVSROOT.
+#
+# The "-a" option specifies an alias. An alias is interpreted as if
+# everything on the right of the "-a" had been typed on the command line.
+#
+# You can encode a module within a module by using the special '&'
+# character to interpose another module into the current module. This
+# can be useful for creating a module that consists of many directories
+# spread out over the entire source repository.

+# The "notify" file controls where notifications from watches set by
+# "cvs watch add" or "cvs edit" are sent. The first entry on a line is
+# a regular expression which is tested against the directory that the
+# change is being made to, relative to the $CVSROOT. If it matches,
+# then the remainder of the line is a filter program that should contain
+# one occurrence of %s for the user to notify, and information on its
+# standard input.
+#
+# "ALL" or "DEFAULT" can be used in place of the regular expression.
+#
+# format strings are replaceed as follows:
+# %p = path relative to repository
+# %r = repository (path portion of $CVSROOT)
+# %s = user to notify
+#
+# For example:
+#ALL (echo Committed to %r/%p; cat) |mail %s -s "CVS notification"

+# The "rcsinfo" file is used to control templates with which the editor
+# is invoked on commit and import.
+#
+# The first entry on a line is a regular expression which is tested
+# against the directory that the change is being made to, relative to the
+# $CVSROOT. For the first match that is found, then the remainder of the
+# line is the name of the file that contains the template.
+#
+# If the repository name does not match any of the regular expressions in this
+# file, the "DEFAULT" line is used, if it is specified.
+#
+# If the name "ALL" appears as a regular expression it is always used
+# in addition to the first matching regex or "DEFAULT".
--- /dev/null
+# The "taginfo" file is used to control pre-tag checks.
+# The filter on the right is invoked with the following arguments if no format strings are present:
+#
+# $1 -- tagname
+# $2 -- operation "add" for tag, "mov" for tag -F, and "del" for tag -d
+# $3 -- tagtype "?" on delete, "T" for branch, "N" for static
+# $4 -- repository
+# $5-> file revision [file revision ...]
+#
+# If any format strings are present in the filter, they will be replaced as follows:
+# %b = branch mode = "?" (delete ops - unknown) | "T" (branch) | "N" (not branch)
+# %o = operation = "add" | "mov" | "del"
+# %p = path relative to repository
+# %r = repository (path portion of $CVSROOT)
+# %t = tagname
+# %{sVv} = attribute list = file name, old version tag will be deleted from,
+# new version tag will be added to (or deleted from, but this feature is
+# deprecated. When either old or new revision is unknown, doesn't exist,
+# or isn't applicable, the string "NONE" will be placed on the command
+# line.
+#
+# Note that %{sVv} is a list operator and not all elements are necessary. Thus %{sV} is
+# a legal format string, but will only be replaced with file name and old revision.
+# it also generates multiple arguments for each file being operated upon. i.e. if two
+# files, file1 & file2, are having a tag moved from version 1.1 to versoin 1.1.2.9, %{sVv}
+# will generate the following six arguments in this order: file1, 1.1, 1.1.2.9, file2, 1.1,
+# 1.1.2.9.
+#
+# A non-zero exit of the filter program will cause the tag to be aborted.
+#
+# The first entry on a line is a regular expression which is tested
+# against the directory that the change is being committed to, relative
+# to the $CVSROOT. For the first match that is found, then the remainder
+# of the line is the name of the filter to run.
+#
+# If the repository name does not match any of the regular expressions in this
+# file, the "DEFAULT" line is used, if it is specified.
+#
+# If the name "ALL" appears as a regular expression it is always used
+# in addition to the first matching regex or "DEFAULT".

+# The "verifymsg" file is used to allow verification of logging
+# information. It works best when a template (as specified in the
+# rcsinfo file) is provided for the logging procedure. Given a
+# template with locations for, a bug-id number, a list of people who
+# reviewed the code before it can be checked in, and an external
+# process to catalog the differences that were code reviewed, the
+# following test can be applied to the code:
+#
+# Making sure that the entered bug-id number is correct.
+# Validating that the code that was reviewed is indeed the code being
+# checked in (using the bug-id number or a seperate review
+# number to identify this particular code set.).
+#
+# If any of the above test failed, then the commit would be aborted.
+#
+# Format strings present in the filter will be replaced as follows:
+# %p = path relative to repository
+# %r = repository (path portion of $CVSROOT)
+# %l = name of log file to be verified.
+#
+# If no format strings are present in the filter, a default " %l" will
+# be appended to the filter, but this usage is deprecated.
+#
+# Actions such as mailing a copy of the report to each reviewer are
+# better handled by an entry in the loginfo file.
+#
+# One thing that should be noted is the the ALL keyword is not
+# supported. There can be only one entry that matches a given
+# repository.
