last time. I should have pulled these in last time as it allows easier
comparison of "where we are at" relative to the current version from
cyclic.com. Since this is in a 4.4BSD style tree layout, the changelogs
dont exactly match the file layout, but it's close enough.
Two uninitialised variables were causing a phkmalloc warning (another notch
in phkmalloc's belt) and caused the full rcstemplate to not be constructed
for commits on freefall.
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..

"update -jHEAD" when a file has been added on the specified tag.
It doesn't actually make cvs 'handle' it, it just stops it from dying
and leaving stray locks and other wreckage.
This was suggested by the CVS maintainers, and is in cvs-1.5.1-950901.
1: It stops invalid files being created in the cvs tree
2: It stops the import from aborting without mailing a commit message..
The first is simple, it opens the file for reading before touching the
repository, and the second catches the pieces when it hits an unreadable
file rather than just aborting mid-way through, leaving the repository in
a bit mess.

added *.info and *.db to the default "ignore" list in cvs to avoid obviously
common mistakes.
use it. :-)
It now explicitly requires the specification of a directory to import
from, either as an argument to the script, or by asking the user about
it. (Previously, it implicitly used `.', like cvs import does.)
Also implemented an option `-n', which does essentially the same like
the overall CVS option `-n': show only what would have been done,
don't do any commitment. Note that since the modules' database is
checked out in place (and not commited back), it will erroneously be
reported as to be imported, too:
cvs import: Importing /home/ncvs/ports/foobar/foo/modules
I ports/foobar/foo/modules/CVS
N ports/foobar/foo/modules/modules
This is an unwanted side-effect, but gives the user the option to see
if the `ed' magic did the right thing when editing modules/modules.
Rod, can you please check the function ``checktag'' in the script if it
will be restritctive enough?
stuff. I'd like to have it in CVS, and i figured that this might be
the best place to go.
Someone (phk?) could install it into /usr/local/bin on freefall, for
convenience.

I know that many of these entries are bogus and need to be revisited,
but let's get the tree working again for now and then do a pass through
looking at all the __FreeBSD__ entries, shall we?
