Hi all,

Attached patch removes the hard-coded "via git-CVS emulator" string  
appended to every commit message by the git-cvsserver command. I  
believe there are "commit-msg" hooks etc. that can achieve the same  
effect in cases where this string is desirable?

  git-cvsserver.perl |    1 -
  1 file changed, 1 deletion(-)

Without the patch, a typical commit message using git-cvsserver looks  
like this:

commit 4bea43114a8f7fafd72c67cd98c5d9e98d1a7cbb
Author: Fredrik Noring
Date:   Sun Apr 13 09:10:05 2008 +0200

     Commit message...

     via git-CVS emulator

All the best,
Fredrik
