=== Informing others about commits ===

It is often useful to inform others when you commit a
new revision of a file.  The &lsquo;<code>-i</code>&rsquo; option of the
&lsquo;<tt>modules</tt>&rsquo; file, or the &lsquo;<tt>loginfo</tt>&rsquo; file, can be
used to automate this process.  See [[cvs: The modules file#The modules file|modules]].
See [[cvs: Loginfo#Loginfo|loginfo]].  You can use these features of <small>CVS</small>
to, for instance, instruct <small>CVS</small> to mail a
message to all developers, or post a message to a local
newsgroup.
