What about getting rid of "cvs watch on/off" altogether and making this feature
a configuration parameter inside CVSROOT/config?  The main difference I see is
the granularity of "cvs watch on/off".  However, I think teams tend to use "cvs
watch on/off" for the entire repository, anyway.  In fact, I think there may be
a feature (or bug) in which new modules do not get "cvs watch on" if the team
already deems all modules to have "cvs watch on".
