This has been needed for awhile.  Probably needs to be an optoin to
unedit only available to the cvsadmin group that accepts a username as
an argument.  I don't think it is necessary for this patch, though.

A format string that passed the -c option into commitinfo if present
for the user could be useful.  Perhaps even a general purpose format
string that passed all options in effect, but quoting and parsing of
the general purpose string could conceivably be challenging.  Again,
not necesary for acceptance of this patch, I think.

Cheers,

Derek
