First, I just noticed that I posted the link to the wrong patch.  The proper
link was:

    http://alumni.engin.umich.edu/~oberon/ccvs.newfmtstrings.1-11.diff

The first link I posted was to another patch that provides functionality on top
of this one and doesn't do everything it should, so I'd leave it alone unless
you really want the additional functionality as it stands or feel like dooing
some hacking.

Anyhow, there isn't much external documentation.  You can review my previous
posts - here's the results of searches for "ccvs.newfmtstrings.1-11.diff" on
the bug-cvs and info-cvs archive on mail-archive.com:

    http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-cvs@gnu.org/msg00598.html
    http://www.mail-archive.com/info-cvs@gnu.org/msg07456.html
    http://www.mail-archive.com/info-cvs@gnu.org/msg06744.html
    http://www.mail-archive.com/info-cvs@gnu.org/msg05603.html

Use those if you want abstract descriptions.  Be sure to follow the threads.
The best thing to do is probably review the portions of the patch which affect
doc/cvs.texinfo and maybe the individual ChangeLogs in the patch file itself if
you want itemized functionality descriptions.

Hope that's useful.
