The common syntax
The four files commitinfo, loginfo,
rcsinfo and editinfo all have a common
format. The purpose of the files are described later
on. The common syntax is described here.
Each line contains the following:
- A regular expression
- A whitespace separator---one or more spaces and/or tabs.
- A file name or command-line template.
Blank lines are ignored. Lines that start with the
character `#' are treated as comments. Long lines
unfortunately can not be broken in two parts in
any way.
The first regular expression that matches the current
directory name in the repository is used. The rest of the line
is used as a file name or command-line as appropriate.
