>Description:

	It would be nice if CVS allowed a repository maintainer to
	put a file (named perhaps ".cvs-commit-advise") directly
	into a repository directory which would cause the contents
	of the file to appear in the checkin message whenever anyone
	trys to check anything in that directory or a subdirectory.

	This would, for example, allow Satoshi to put an "advisory
	lock" on the ports tree. People would still be able to
	check things in, but they would get a special warning
	message before they did it.

	There could be other uses, such as general information
	and reminders for specific parts of a code base, etc.
