NAME
       cvsmail -- add cvsweb.cgi links to FreeBSD commit mail

SYNOPSIS
       cvsmail [-CcdfGgqv] [-u url] [-U	url]

DESCRIPTION
       cvsmail	can  be	used from a procmailrc(5) file to add cvsweb.cgi links
       to FreeBSD commit mail, allowing	you to easily view  the	 diffs	for  a
       particular commit.

       The following flags are accepted:

       -C      Print  diffs  or	 links to diffs	in context diff	format,	rather
	       than the	default	unified	diff format.

       -c      Print links to human-readable, coloured diffs, instead  of  the
	       default plain diffs.

       -d      Include diffs in	the output, as well as links to	the diffs.

       -f      Munge  the data so that a line starting with "From" and a space
	       has a `>' character insterted before it.	  This	prevents  some
	       MUAs  from  assuming that line is the start of a	new message if
	       the mailbox is in traditional mbox format.  It will also	insert
	       a dummy "From" line as the first	line of	 the  message  if  the
	       first line read by cvsmail is not already a "From" line.

       -G      This option causes the URLs for diffs to	be included both after
	       the  individual change lines, and before	the actual diff.  This
	       option only has an effect if both -d and	-g are also specified.

       -g      This option causes all the URLs for diffs, and, if -d is	speci-
	       fied, the diffs themselves, to be included at the  end  of  the
	       output,	rather than immediately	after the ``changes'' line for
	       that file.

       -q      Operate quietly.	 This is the default if	stderr is not a	termi-
	       nal.

       -v      Operate more verbosely.	This is	the default  is	 stderr	 is  a
	       terminal.

       -u      Specify	 an  alternate	cvsweb.cgi  script.   The  default  is
	       "http://cvsweb.FreeBSD.org/".  Please note that the argument to
	       this must include the trailing slash.

       -U      Specify an additional cvsweb.cgi	script,	to be used in addition
	       to the default.	As with	the -u flag, the argument to this flag
	       must include the	trailing slash.

EXAMPLES
       The following procmailrc(5) rule	might be used.

	     :0
	     * ^Sender:	owner-cvs-all@freebsd.org
	     {
	       :0
	       * X-FreeBSD-CVS-Branch:.*RELENG_4
	       | cvsmail -f $MAILDIR/lists/freebsd-cvs-stable

	       :0
	       * X-FreeBSD-CVS-Branch:.*RELENG_
	       | cvsmail -f $MAILDIR/lists/freebsd-cvs-other

	       :0
	       | cvsmail -f $MAILDIR/lists/freebsd-cvs-all
	     }

       This will separate your commit mail into	separate folders based on  the
       CVS  branch  affected.  If you are a committer, you might prefer	a rule
       more like this.

	     :0
	     * ^Sender:	owner-cvs-committers@freebsd.org
	     {
	       :0
	       * Subject:.*cvs commit:
	       {
		 :0
		 * X-FreeBSD-CVS-Branch:.*RELENG_4
		 | cvsmail -f $MAILDIR/lists/freebsd-cvs-stable

		 :0
		 * X-FreeBSD-CVS-Branch:.*RELENG_
		 | cvsmail -f $MAILDIR/lists/freebsd-cvs-other

		 :0
		 | cvsmail -f $MAILDIR/lists/freebsd-cvs-all
	       }

	       :0
	       lists/freebsd-committers
	     }
