Some of us do not have any control (other than commit/checkout type) over
the multiple repos that we are using... so this is not an option. Also,
"overriding" stuff locally (which is what would need to happen) now becomes
the same as having a "default" configuration set within the CVS binary (as
it stands now), and doing the ~/.cvsrc to change that. In other words,
a lot of people have gained nothing, in fact they now need to maintain their
own ~/.cvsrc file to simply gain *CONSISTENCY*, not good, IMHO...
