   Oops. Nope, that was me.  It snuck in there.  I'll fix the comment in
   the cvs log.

Could you please also change the commitid field when changing the comment?  
Some CVS tools (namely my CVS converter) do use this field and consequently 
will merge this commit back together, despite having different commit messages. 
 I think there was another edit a couple of weeks ago as well.

Talking about CVS, I think the time has come that we *slowly* should think 
about alternatives and how they would fit with our development process.  I 
don't say we should switch, I'm just saying that we shouldn't close our eyes 
and ignore alternatives which might work better in our work flow.

My personal favourite is git, which is backed by a very nice and responsive 
community (same goes for mercurial) and which provides a powerful toolset and 
therefore flexibility.

Matt, I know that you are conservative regarding DragonFly's infrastructure, 
and I think this is the right way to do it.  However I think this doesn't mean 
that we have to stick to CVS forever.  If there is a tool which is more 
reliable than CVS *and* enables us to work with higher efficiency, we should 
not deny evaluating its use.  And in the end maybe we will feel comfortable 
enough to switch.  This is a long running process (one year, I'd say), but 
personally I am convinced that it is worth it.  More on the advantages of git 
in a later mail.

cheers
 simon
