[cvsnt] Keyword Expansion Help

[Trevor Leybourne]

I asked this question about 2 weeks ago, but didn't get any replies so 
thought I would resend it as I would love some assistance on how I can solve 
this problem.


I have a number of binary files (Oracle Forms and Reports) which will reside 
in our repository. I want to store the version number or $Id$ string in each 
file and can do this through a program I have written which is able to read 
the Oracle files and update inbuilt parameters to store this information (I 
can't use a normal string replace type function).

How can I specify this in one of the CVSROOT files to perform this function 
when certain files are committed to the repository?

For example, if a file ending in .FMB, .PLL or .RDF is commited then execute 
the VersionUpdate.exe program passing the name of the file to update and the 
new keyword or version string to update with.

I've looked at CommitInfo but it does not provide me with what the new 
version number for the file will be. LogInfo does provide that information 
but is it too late at that point? It looks to me like LogInfo is triggered 
after the file has been written into the repository and therefore I would 
not be able to update it.

Any help would be appreciated.
