[cvsnt] Missing author bug in 2.0.58 when cvs invoked by postcommit script

[John Kinson]

I use a postcommit script that invokes cvs to perform an additional 
check-in (of a top-level Changelog file).

Previously, this script worked fine, and the author of the automatic 
check-in was recorded as SYSTEM.

After upgrading to 2.0.57a/58 though, the automatic check-in reports no 
error, but within the ,v file the author is missing altogether.  This 
should never be the case, and not surprisingly cvsnt crashes when, for 
example, cvs log is subsequently invoked on the file.

Any chance this could be fixed please?  I assume it's still acceptable 
for a postcommit trigger script to use cvs to perform an additional commit?

Cheers

JK
