[Cvs-syncmail] Re: Bug#168832: cvs-syncmail: doesn't work.

[Kevin R. <ke...@ro...>]

Hello cvs-syncmail guys,

The Debian cvs-syncmail package has already gotten a new user. Neil
Spring had confusion reading the output of --help and he put %s as the
argument to syncmail. He proposes adding some more information to that
output, perhaps along the lines of what he wrote below to help others who
might be led astry.
 
Best,
