Should cvswrappers be fixed or should "checkoutinfo" be added? commitinfo
works for both client/server and local access. I wondering if cvswrappers "-t/-f"
is a stupid feature that's better replaced with "checkoutinfo" and "commitinfo".
Rather than work on something that's problematic maybe it would be better to
put time into something better designed?
Or am I all wet here?
