[cvsnt] Bugid with commit compared to bugid in edit

Ok, so they can be used both; maybe it should be mentioned in the manual 
that
the commit bug-id (-B) will overwrite the edit bug-id (-b).

(in an old message (Xref: news.cvsnt.org support.cvsnt:25296) it was 
mentioned:
"Loginfo can get the bugid for each file, and can fail the commit." But as 
far as I
know loginfo is after the commit)

Where can I find more information on C++ triggers or better examples of C++ 
triggers?

PS: while testing the trigger-files regarding the bugid I found out that the 
use of the
premodule and postmodule file/triggers will throw an errormessage if you 
don't
define any expansion options and the default expansion options are used:
"Unrecognised expansion 'p' in line 0 of CVSROOT/premodule"
