Thanks for the summary and reminder.  I have been surprised
by such effects, too.  (Luckily without huge dramatic effects.)

While I am all for terseness, I agree that the Cederqvist should point
these effects more clearly.

The reason being that a CVS repository maintainer has often to compensate
for sloppily prepared vendor kits, delivered by vendors _not_ having a
clue about decent source mgmt.
