This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
plus a couple of minor changes..
Some highlights of the new stuff that was not in the old version:
- remote access support.. full checkout/commit/log/etc..
- much improved dead file support..
- speed improvements
- better $CVSROOT handling
- $Name$ support
- support for a "cvsadmin" group to cut down rampant use of "cvs admin -o"
- safer setuid/setgid support
- many bugs fixed.. :-)
- probably some new ones.. :-(
- more that I cannot remember offhand..
