This "contrib" directory is a place holder for code/scripts sent to me
by contributors around the world.  This README file will be kept
up-to-date from release to release.  BUT, we must point out that these
contributions are really, REALLY UNSUPPORTED.  In fact, we probably
don't even know what some of them really do.  We certainly do not
guarantee to have tried them, or ported them to work with this CVS
distribution.  If you have questions, your best bet is to contact the
original author, but you should not necessarily expect a reply, since
the author may not be available at the address given.

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK -- and all that stuff.

"Unsupported" also means that no one has volunteered to accept and check
in changes to this directory.  So submissions for new scripts to add
here are unlikely to be accepted.  Suggested changes to the existing
scripts here conceivably might, but that isn't clear either, unless of
course they come from the original author of the script.

If you have some software that works with CVS that you wish to offer it
is suggested that you make it available by FTP or HTTP and then announce
it on the info-cvs mailing list.

There is a web page of software related to CVS at the following URL which
would presumably be willing to list your software.

    README        This file.
    log        A perl script suitable for including in your
            $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/loginfo file for logging commit
            changes.  Includes the RCS revision of the change
            as part of the log.
            Contributed by Kevin Samborn <[e-mail]>.
    commit_prep    A perl script, to be combined with log_accum.pl, to
    log_accum    provide for a way to combine the individual log
            messages of a multi-directory "commit" into a
            single log message, and mail the result somewhere.
            Can also do other checks for $Id and that you are
            committing the correct revision of the file.
            Read the comments carefully.
            Contributed by David Hampton <[e-mail]>.
    mfpipe        Another perl script for logging.  Allows you to
            pipe the log message to a file and/or send mail
            to some alias.
            Contributed by John Clyne <[e-mail]>.
    rcs-to-cvs    Script to import sources that may have been under
            RCS control already.
            Contributed by Per Cederqvist <[e-mail]>.
    cvscheck    Identifies files added, changed, or removed in a
    cvscheck.man    checked out CVS tree; also notices unknown files.
            Contributed by Lowell Skoog <fluke![e-mail]>
    cvshelp.man    An introductory manual page written by Lowell Skoog
            <fluke![e-mail]>.  It is most likely
            out-of-date relative to CVS 1.3, but still may be
            useful.
    dirfns        A shar file which contains some code that might
            help your system support opendir/readdir/closedir,
            if it does not already.
            Copied from the C-News distribution.
    rcslock        A perl script that can be added to your commitinfo
            file that tries to determine if your RCS file is
            currently locked by someone else, as might be the
            case for a binary file.
            Contributed by John Rouillard <[e-mail]>.
    cvs_acls    A perl script that implements Access Control Lists
            by using the "commitinfo" hook provided with the
            "cvs commit" command.
            Contributed by David G. Grubbs <[e-mail]>.
    descend        A shell script that can be used to recursively
    descend.man    descend through a directory.  In CVS 1.2, this was
            very useful, since many of the commands were not
            recursive.  In CVS 1.3 (and later), however, most of
            the commands are recursive.  However, this may still
            come in handy.
            Contributed by Lowell Skoog <fluke![e-mail]>
    cln_hist    A perl script to compress your
            $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/history file, as it can grow quite
            large after extended use.
            Contributed by David G. Grubbs <[e-mail]>
    sccs2rcs    A C-shell script that can convert (some) SCCS files
            into RCS files, retaining the info contained in the
            SCCS file (like dates, author, and log message).
            Contributed by Ken Cox <[e-mail]>.
    intro.doc    A user's view of what you need to know to get
            started with CVS.
            Contributed by <[e-mail]>.
    rcs2sccs    A shell script to convert simple RCS files into
            SCCS files, originally gleaned off the network
            somewhere (originally by "kenc") and modified by
            Jerry Jelinek <[e-mail]> and
            Brian Berliner <[e-mail]> to increase
            robustness and add support for one-level of branches.
    rcs2log        A shell script to create a ChangeLog-format file
            given only a set of RCS files.
            Contributed by Paul Eggert <[e-mail]>.
     clmerge        A perl script to handle merge conflicts in GNU
            style ChangeLog files .
            Contributed by Tom Tromey <[e-mail]>.
    cvs2vendor    A shell script to move changes from a repository
            that was started without a vendor branch to one
            that has a vendor branch.
            Contributed by Greg A. Woods <[e-mail]>
