Go up to loginfo.

Loginfo example
---------------

   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'.

     ALL             /usr/local/bin/cvs-log $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/commitlog
     ^CVSROOT        /usr/local/bin/cvs-log /usr/adm/cvsroot-log

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

     #!/bin/sh
     (echo "------------------------------------------------------";
      echo -n $USER"  ";
      date;
      echo;
      sed '1s+'${CVSROOT}'++') >> $1
