Package: cvs
Version: 1:1.12.13-8
Severity: wishlist

The server protocol supports obtaining individual revisions of a file, but it
does not support downloading the entire ,v file.  Tools like cvssuck can
attempt to recreate a ,v file by obtaining individual revisions, but they put
a high strain on the server, and don't accurately recreate history very well.
If the CVS server provided the ability to directly download the ,v file, it
would make cvssuck unnecessary.
