On oss.lineo.com I use the following in CVSROOT/loginfo:

    busybox /cvs/CVSROOT/dolog.pl -r /cvs busybox-cvs@opensource.lineo.com,cvslog@opensource.lineo.com
    [-------more stuff snipped--------]
    DEFAULT /cvs/CVSROOT/dolog.pl -r /cvs cvslog@opensource.lineo.com

It produces commit messages that look like this:

	Repository: busybox
	who:        andersen
	time:       Wed Oct 25 22:17:49 MDT 2000

	Log Message:
	This was broken when applets moved to applets.h.  Fix it.

	Files:
	changed:    busybox.mkll

I have attached dolog.pl which I have modified quite a bit.  This works for me
and has been in production since June...
