Patches will not be accepted without accompanying test cases (when
possible) and documentation (when necessary).  Also, please send
patches in universal  (`cvs diff -u') or context (`cvs diff -c')
format.  I prefer the universal format, myself.  Please see the
`HACKING', `DEVEL-CVS', and `TESTS' files distributed with CVS for more.

I don't think documentation will be necessary in your case, since I
think you are making `cvs edit' behave as a naive user would expect it
to and I don't believe the current (broken) behavior is documented,
but it might be worth giving the `cvs edit' sections a once-over to
verify that the broken behavior is not documented.  The source for the
manual is in doc/cvs.texinfo.

Tests will be necessary for this patch.  We need something that
demonstrates the problem when run with a current CVS and passes with
your patched version.  Tests should be added to the src/sanity.sh
script.  Please see the `TESTS' file distributed with CVS for more.

Cheers,

Derek
