See the HACKING file in the cvs distribution for the long version, but,
basically, it needs:
1) The patch, submitted to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (whose charter
makes clear that this means releasing the code under the GPL),
including:
a) ChangeLog entry
b) sanity.sh test case
c) documentation in the cvs.texinfo file.
2) Support from the developers, which usually requires
general usefulness and/or some sort of support from the CVS
community in general. It sounds like the rlog portion of this
patch has some support and I certainly have no objections, but
I also have no desire/time to do the work still required for
part 1 above. The list portion of this patch has been bandied
about many times on this list and as far as I know, no one has
contributed a convincing argument as to why the available
workarounds were not sufficient. Search the mail archives for
some of the discussion.

Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for
I may not follow. Do not walk beside me, either. Just leave me alone.
