I do have history, just not a public one. And undoing changes to
debug problems is not my style. If worse comes to worst, I always
have the current v23.x codebase to compare with.

Since I merge with mainline every few days, I always have a diff
against the current CVS, give or take a few days. And if I need a
diff against the current CVS, I just need to "cvs up" again.

If others had offered help working on this, I'd have made a CVS branch
long ago. But since I'm the only one interested in this for now,
maintaining a branch is just a waste of my time.
Mind you, I'm not arguing that a VCS or bzr are not needed, just that
their impact is minimal in my case. Nevertheless, I will, of course,
use bzr when we switch to it. That's why I was asking questions all
this weekend.
