There's a CVS admin file called 'loginfo', which I believe does what you are
expecting. It's purpose is to run a program at every commit. I've never used
it, so you're on your own. Here's an excerpt from the man:

(http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_18.html#SEC169)

==== Excerpt =========================================
The following `loginfo' file, together with the tiny shell-script below,
appends all log messages to the file `$CVSROOT/CVSROOT/commitlog', and any
commits to the administrative files (inside the `CVSROOT' directory) are
also logged in `/usr/adm/cvsroot-log'. Commits to the `prog1' directory are
mailed to ceder.

ALL             /usr/local/bin/cvs-log $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/commitlog $USER
^CVSROOT        /usr/local/bin/cvs-log /usr/adm/cvsroot-log
^prog1          Mail -s %s ceder

The shell-script `/usr/local/bin/cvs-log' looks like this:

#!/bin/sh
(echo "------------------------------------------------------";
 echo -n $2"  ";
 date;
 echo;
 cat) >> $1
