mantis_cvs

This perl script allows you to add cvs information to your bugs. Every
time you commit a change that affects some bug that is reported to
mantis, you can add to your commit message the bug that this change affects.


EXAMPLE

Let's suppose you have a bug, Bug 123. Some developer fixes this bug, and
is about to commit it to the CVS repository. He can commit like this:

	cvs commit -m "Fix to error reported in Bug 123"
	
This script will parse the commit message and add a history entry
to the bug 123.


INSTALLATION

1) You need Mail::Sender to send email. Remove the "use" line if you
   don't want to get nagged every time a checkin for a bug is issued.
2) Checkout your CVSROOT module

        cvs checkout CVSROOT

3) Add mantis_cvs to your CVSROOT module:

        cp mantis_cvs CVSROOT
        cvs add CVSROOT/mantis_cvs

4) Modify the CVSROOT/loginfo file, add the following line:

        ALL perl -s $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/mantis_cvs %{sv}

5) Commit your changes and release the module

        cvs commit CVSROOT
        cvs release -d CVSROOT

6) To register a checkout, just add in your comment the bug that this 
   commit applies for, for example, "Fix to Bug 123" (case insensitive)
