But note that there *isn't* a per-filesystem .profile, which is
essentially what people are asking for from cvs. I wouldn't have a
problem with a *system* preferences file ala /etc/profile, but I
strongly object to a per-repository preferences file. I don't know
about you, but *I* certainly don't want diff to behave differently just
because I'm working in a different directory, nor do I want cvs to work
differently just because I'm working in a different repository.
