Dear diary, on Mon, Sep 29, 2003 at 04:38:19PM CEST, I got a letter,
where Vincent Caron <address@hidden> told me, that...

thanks, I've applied it. (With slight modifications.)

FYI, the latest ciabot.pl (http://pasky.ji.cz/~pasky/dev/cvs/ciabot.pl)
also contains a possibility to list more than one file in the commit
message, if multiple files are committed, up to $max_files configuration
variable. Perhaps you might find it useful.

I'm currently waiting for the CIA people to update their ciabot.pl
mirror.

Kind regards,
