"-D date" command line option. There is code in the original to
handle a special case. If the date search finds revision 1.1 it
is supposed to check whether revision 1.1.1.1 has the same date
stamp, which would indicate that the file was originally brought
in with "cvs import". In that case it is supposed to return the
vendor branch version 1.1.1.1.
However, there is a bug in the code. It actually compares the date
of revision 1.1 for equality with the date given on the command
line -- clearly wrong. This commit fixes the coding bug.
There is an additional bug which is _not_ fixed in this commit.
The date comparison should not be a strict equality test. It should
allow a fudge factor of, say, 2-3 seconds. Old versions of CVS
created the two revisions with two separate invocations of the RCS
"ci" command. We have many old files in the tree in which the
dates of revisions 1.1 and 1.1.1.1 differ by 1 second.

checkouts from a local repo and committing via remote cvs. A cvs -d
override of the mismatched CVS/Root files was missing. This is a client
side fix, I'd appreciate it if the folks having trouble with this would
update their cvs client and pay particular attention next time..
The merge turned up a long-standing bug in local additions. I'm not
quite sure it's right yet. (the code in question is dealing with
diffs relative to "HEAD" and dead revisions).
Add '-g' main option to cvs to better support shared-group access
to a common checked-out *working* set by multiple users. See manual
page for details.
and we have not done an explicit 'cvs login', then use a default password
of "anoncvs". This allows things like:
setenv CVSROOT :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.freebsd.org:/cvs
cvs checkout src (without doing the normal 'cvs login' for pserver mode)
but this runs over the :pserver: protocol rather than the more troublesome
rsh. Naturally, the server had better be running in -R (readonly) mode :-)
CVSROOT/passwd file is empty. A 'cvs login' still seems to be required
since the cvs client doesn't seem to believe it's possible to not need
a password (yet :-). This is intended for cheap anoncvs use.
This is mostly intended for use on freefall where we'd like to provide
a passwd file for easy anoncvs mirroring access, but don't want to open
up the pserver on freefall itself.
While here, some initial tweaks intended for allowing an empty pserver
password. I'm not sure that this works yet.
