Sorry Tony, its just not working (for me!).

e.g.
CVSROOT/postcommand
 ALL /bin/bash -c "echo compliance is ${=COMPLIANCE} ;"

 $ cvs -s COMPLIANCE=FUDGE commit -m "test"
cvs commit: Examining .
Checking in dummy.txt;
/wibble/pr/dummy.txt,v  <--  dummy.txt
new revision: 1.9; previous revision: 1.8
done
compliance is

So its not pickup up the user variable.
If I look at the rcs file, it is being written, so that all works :-).

I stuck some trace into info_trigger.cpp, and it looks like its correctly
working out that COMPLIANCE is a user variable, but it doesn't seem to find
it (gen_info.uservar.find(tmp.c_str()) - line +- 1648 doesn't find it)

Any ideas?
