Well, I'm quite chilled out myself but I'd have to still agree with Matt that putting ANYTHING like this in the root directory is just conceptually wrong and should never have been entertained as a solution, no matter how tempting it may have been at the time. I do also fully understand the need for work-arounds in one's daily life as an engineer, but there are also any number of crocks which will occur to your typical engineer in the course of his life which he would be best advised to resist temptation and stay far away from. What we have here is thus simply a case of someone's bogometer failing to go off, or being calibrated to the wrong setting, and it should have tripped and prevented the ``cvs commit'' command from being typed at all. :-) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
