Heh, understandable.  Can anyone like me get a CVS account if we request it?
(I see those request messages often...)  Or do you have to be more "known?"
:-)  Well, even with rights, I'd want to verify a change was OK
beforehand -- it sounds like you're saying stuff should be commited *first*
and then feedback comes...

Well, I just tried to use (with WinCvs) "cvs add ..." and it said:

"add" requires write access to the repository

I created array_fill_keys() instead after seeing Andi's e-mail questioning
the array_fill() modification, and made a few simple tests for it (I see
array_fill tests were recently added).  So, it's all ready to go, but I
can't add the test file...  What should I do, e-mail it as a plain file?
