[Savannah-hackers] Fwd: about linuxdoc CVS

[Alessandro Rubini]

I asked the CVS maintainter for linuxdoc.org about multi-point commit.
This is the reply I got. I think it's better to keep communication
personal, by now, avoiding the plethora of Cc: we are using.

BTW: I subscribed to savannah-hackers as suggested by Loic. Can
address@hidden get dropped from this Cc: list?
