That's bogus. CVS has always had an "ALL" keyword. RTFM:
All occurrences of the name `ALL' appearing as a regular expression
are used in addition to the first matching regular expression or the
name `DEFAULT'.

That's also more or less bogus. There's been comit_prep and
log_accum in the contrib directory for nearly forever and they do
exactly the same thing.
