        This is one of those things that might work really well, but only for 
certain development models.  For instance, I am using a GUI based 
tool.  It likes to create lots of files that may or may not need to be 
archived.  I have experimentally determined that if I archive a 
certain set of them, then there seems to be no problems.  Do I want 
CVS to pester me about the ones I'm not archiving every time I do a 
commit in that directory?  No way!

        And just think what would happen if you inadvertently did your CVS 
commit without making clean first...

        Nannyware sucks.

        Optional nannying?  Hmmm - doesn't the nannyware model *require* that 
the nagging not be optional?
