[9fans] cvs plumbing trick

[Russ Cox]

for the cvs users --

if you set EDITOR=plumbit in your
profile, then you can run "cvs ci" or
however you spell it, and when it wants
a commit log entry, acme or sam will
pop up a new editing window with
the template.  you edit, write, close,
and cvs continues.

note that this makes Put equivalent to
acme mail's Post -- as soon as you write
it, it's sent.

g% cat /bin/plumbit
#!/bin/rc

qid=`{ls -lq $1 | awk '{print $1, $2, $3}'}
qid=$"qid
B $*
while(){
	nqid=`{ls -lq $1 | awk '{print $1, $2, $3}'}
	nqid=$"nqid
	if(! ~ $qid $nqid)
		exit
	sleep 1
}
g%

Cool, Russ.

You mentioned a while back that you were working on a fresher
version of CVS and that you'd be posting it.  I've been stalling
my most recent installation because it's not urgent and therefore
I could wait.  This is just a nudge :-)
