Re: How well does CVS handle other types of data?

I think a proper patch to this would be to use hashes as well (or in lieu of)
timestamps.  The hashes possibly can be cached to speed up comparisons.

CVS should not be looking for conflict markers:
1.  Doing so will tie in the diff3 even more than it is now.
2.  It will prevent checkin of files that legitimately contains the markers, not
catch real conflicts in such files, or introduce new markers to mark the
instances of conflict markers that CVS should ignore.

If developers want to prevent files with conflict markers from being checked in,
they can use commitinfo to do so.

I think I've finally fixed that bug in the version I use.  I'll post
patches once I've tested a bit more.....
