Do you know what it means when cvs gives this output?
cvs commit: Using deprecated info format strings. Convert your scripts to
use the new argument format and remove '1's from your info file format
strings.
Can you help him?

You mean,
cvs commit: Using deprecated info format strings. Convert your scripts to
use the new argument format and remove '1's from your info file format
strings.
? It's not a very good warning message. The verb "using" doesn't have a
subject, and it's difficult to guess. Does "info" mean info, as in info
pages? Probably not. But it's something that's got "format strings" of
one kind or another. I wonder what "scripts" are meant, because I didn't
use any, having merely typed "cvs commit programs.texi". I wonder what
"argument" has a new format, and it would be interesting to know what the
old format is too. "Remove my '1's"? "From my info file format
strings"?
What was this guy smoking?
