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

[David Multer]

I didn't realize you already parsed for the new format strings. I had  
already updated the format according to your documentation, and only  
had to update my CVSROOT/config. Note also that all new CVS setups  
include the new format strings by default and don't exhibit the  
problem. Everything is working great now!

Thanks,
David
