[cvsspam-devel] Script changes for new CVS info format strings

I'm using the latest CVSspam and I get the following message after a  
CVS commit. Before I upgraded to the latest CVS, I was getting no  
warning message.

cvs commit: warning:  Set to use deprecated info format strings.   
Establish
compatibility with the new info file format strings (add a temporary  
'1' in
all info files after each '%' which doesn't represent a literal percent)
and set UseNewInfoFmtStrings=yes in CVSROOT/config.  After that, convert
individual command lines and scripts to handle the new format at your
leisure.

My CVS/commitinfo:
ALL /usr/local/lib/cvsspam/record_lastdir.rb %r/%p %s

My loginfo:
ALL /usr/local/lib/cvsspam/collect_diffs.rb --to commits at domain.com % 
{sVv}
Sounds like there might have been another format change, but I'm not  
sure. I don't know where the error comes from.

Thanks,
David
