10.4 Informing others about commits

It is often useful to inform others when you commit a new revision of a file. The ‘-i’ option of the ‘modules’ file, or the ‘loginfo’ file, can be used to automate this process. See section The modules file. See section Loginfo. You can use these features of CVS to, for instance, instruct CVS to mail a message to all developers, or post a message to a local newsgroup.
