This qualifies as a hack in my book, but it works well for our
repository.  I modified an unknown version of the python syncmail
script on our CVS server to properly deal with filenames in the cvs
repository that have spaces in them.  Attached are the patch against
our previous version of syncmail and an actual copy of our whole
syncmail script (since it has no obvious version numbers, etc).

Why send this here?  A friend pointed me to the mailman project as
being the maintainers of the python syncmail script.  I hope he's
right (i didn't see anything obvious mentioning such on the webpage).

Previously the version of syncmail we used would send emails saying
"***** Broken: Foo  no such file"  instead of showing the diff of the
file named 'Foo goes to the bar' (ie: a filename with evil spaces in
it).  With this it works with spaces.

enjoy or ignore,
Greg

"""Complicated notification for CVS checkins.

This script is used to provide email notifications of changes to the CVS
repository.  These email changes will include context diffs of the changes.
Really big diffs will be trimmed.

This script is run from a CVS loginfo file (see $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/loginfo).  To
set this up, create a loginfo entry that looks something like this:

    mymodule /path/to/syncmail %%s some-email-addr@your.domain

In this example, whenever a checkin that matches `mymodule' is made, the
syncmail script is invoked, which will generate the diff containing email, and
send it to some-email-addr@your.domain.

    Note: This module used to also do repository synchronizations via
    rsync-over-ssh, but since the repository has been moved to SourceForge,
    this is no longer necessary.  The syncing functionality has been ripped
    out in the 3.0, which simplifies it considerably.  Access the 2.x versions
    to refer to this functionality.  Because of this, the script's name is
    misleading.

It no longer makes sense to run this script from the command line.  Doing so
will only print out this usage information.

Usage:

    syncmail [options] <%%S> email-addr [email-addr ...]

Where options is:

    --cvsroot=<path>
    	Use <path> as the environment variable CVSROOT.  Otherwise this
    	variable must exist in the environment.

    --help
    -h
        Print this text.

    <%%S>
        CVS %%s loginfo expansion.  When invoked by CVS, this will be a single
        string containing the directory the checkin is being made in, relative
        to $CVSROOT, followed by the list of files that are changing.  If the
        %%s in the loginfo file is %%{sVv}, context diffs for each of the
        modified files are included in any email messages that are generated.

    email-addrs
        At least one email address.
