Here is the description :)

LibCVS -- Access CVS through a library

LibCVS describes an API for providing access to CVS repositories.
 
This is a documentation project, which will produce a language-independent API 
description. This API can then be implemented in an appropriate language, and 
tools can be written which use that library, and the API, to access CVS 
repositories.
 
The purpose is to ease the process of writing tools to support CVS.  In the 
long run it would be ideal if the library could provide access to repositories 
provided by other revision control systems.
 
This documentation project will be followed by language-specific implementation 
projects.  I wish to separate the projects to make licensing issues easier, and 
to distribute project management issues.  The common documentation project acts 
as a communication hub among the implementation projects, allowing them to 
share improvements to the API and experience in implementing it.
   
LibCVS is already underway.  It is currently hosted at libcvs.cvshome.org.  
There is a common API description there (currently being overhauled), as well 
as Perl and Objective-C libraries in development.  The commencement of a C 
library is in discussion.
 
Sadly the mailing list archives there are not currently working, which is 
prompting this move to savannah. | The documentation currently uses dia for 
creating diagrams.  If there is more appropriate free software available, I 
will gladly switch.

Summary:  Breakage during project creation, LibCVS

Original Submission:  I had just allocated the name for the LibCVS project, 
where it says "Don't press the back button after this".  Well, sadly the cat 
can't read, so he pressed the back button, and now I've lost the project 
registration.  How do I recover from this?  I don't want to lose the project 
name ("LibCVS"), or the project description.

Thanks for your help,
Alex
