Patrick,

The message is also stored in the Audit database.

A later version of CVSNT will provide ways of getting information from that database directly from the client, however for now you need to use your own reporting tools.  

Regards,

Hi Tony,

I understand that you always have to look onto the compatibility of existing frontends, but if you already introduced a new switch to show the new bugid, the lock text could have also been added (maybe with another new swicht like -m).

I think the text shouldn't get lost, because not everybody is using e-mail notification if files are locked, especially in a bigger project/team you don't want to get a notification each time if somebody is going to change a file. But let's assume that I have set up notification, I will get a mail, read it and delete it. Two days later I also want to modify the file, it's still locked and I don't know anymore what was the lock reason for the file. Should I wait, branch, ... So it would be good if I would be able to get the text...

It also gives you a better overview what people are working on when you do a cvs editors for the hole project than just seeing the names of the files.

-Patrick
