I've tested your suggestions and > applied them on my branch. --[[schmonz]] + +---- + +I've abstracted out CVS's involvement in the wrapper, adding a new +"wrapperargcheck" hook to examine `argc/argv` and return success or +failure (failure causes the wrapper to terminate) and implementing +this hook in the plugin. In the non-CVS case, the check immediately +returns success, so the added overhead is just a function call. + +Given how rarely anything should need to reach in and modify the +wrapper -- I'd go so far as to say we shouldn't make it too easy +-- I don't think it's worth the effort to try and design a more +general-purpose way to do so. If and when some other problem thinks +it wants to be solved by a new wrapper hook, it's easy enough to add +one. Until then, I'd say it's more important to keep the wrapper as +short and clear as possible. --[[schmonz]] |
