It doesn't have to be so bad if it takes care of your "ignore" settings as
well. I think such an option may be good, at least for someone who did a
large re-org of the files in the project. However, I agree with Greg A.
Woods that the place of such options is not CVS itself but rather wrappers
of CVS or GUIs.

        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?
