[Cvs-syncmail] Restricting syncmail based on branches or tags

[Marc W. <ma...@da...>]

Is it possible to set up syncmail so that it only sends mails for
commits done in the HEAD branch, and not for other branches in the
repository?

This is probably more of a loginfo question which I will chase up in the
CVS docs, but I was hoping someone here might know.

I think this will be possible with a complete re-construction of
syncmail that I have in progress.  The "new syncmail" will use a
configuration file that allows settings for each branch.

I posted a strawman sample configuration file to the list earlier this
week:

Please take a look at that and let me know whether it meets your
requirements.  I'll be glad to answer questions as well.

Development is underway, but there's still plenty of space for
changes.
