I suppose I should start studying one or more of those.
Granted, CVS does everything that the folks I work with have needed over the 
years... Except had a really _nice_ way to take a copy of the repo on the road 
with you while others continue working back at the office (usually implemented 
by doing a checkout and putting that under a CVS on one of the laptops, and 
_a_ patch generated when they return to go back in the official baseline).

Spam free, and in some cases where the mail hub was sending some messages a 
"few" extra times, I cleaned them out.
