I think there might be a legitimate reason to commit files as root. I'm
in the middle of attempting to put my system configuration files (this
/etc/*) into CVS. These files are owned by root, managed by root, etc.
but I'd still like to have a root-only repository that will allow me to
make changes as root. I can see problems with allowing root to use
something like :pserver: where the root password is flying around in the
clear but for a local repository I really don't see any problems.
