Found one already: "cvs up" never uses patches with this setup, it always sends the entire new version of the files downstream. That is, if the Emacs tree is checked out with -kb, you will never again see messages like this: P lisp/ChangeLog but always U lisp/ChangeLog This might be a problem with slow connections, but otherwise it's harmless, I guess. A more serious problem is that automatic merges are probably not supported either (although I didn't try). _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
