There's no hook for add, but commitinfo is for pre-commit checks.  (I
can't imagine why you thought cvswrappers was applicable -- it's for
specifying text vs. binary and whether automatic merges are allowed.)

All of the trigger scripts use the same basic format, so you can glean a
lot of information by looking at the examples for the other files.  In
this case, you'll need to write a commitinfo script to check for bad
names, something like:

	#! /bin/sh
	#
	#	commitinfo.sh repos file...
	#
	# Verifies that the file names are all acceptable
	#
	shift
	for file
	do
		case "$file" in
		[Tt][Hh][Uu][Mm][Bb][Ss].[Dd][Bb])
			echo "Disallowed file name: $file"
			exit 1
			;;
		esac
	done
	exit 0

Then add a line to your commitinfo administrative file to call it.  For
example, if you want it to apply to all the directories in your
repository, you could use:

	ALL $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/commitinfo.sh
