I was curious if there was a way to add a hook or something into CVS so that when you commit a text file or into CVS, it will add a certain string at the end of the file?

For example, say something like: "Committed by Joe Schmoe on 03/11/2010"

  • You don't want to modify files mid-commit, behind the users back. Tell us what you're trying to do, and we'll tell you how to do it reliably.

The usual way to do something like that is CVS keyword expansion: http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/cvsbook.html#Using%20Keyword%20Expansion

A small drawback is, that you'll have the $ signs in the file, but many people are used to this convention.
