Or even more importantly, the `cvs diff' one should do to make sure what
they are about to commit is what they intend to commit. For example:
Index: xcoffout.h
===================================================================
RCS file: /home/ncvs/src/contrib/gcc.295/xcoffout.h,v
retrieving revision 1.1.1.3
diff -u -r1.1.1.3 xcoffout.h
--- xcoffout.h 1999/10/16 06:06:02 1.1.1.3
+++ xcoffout.h 2001/07/25 06:23:39
The "1.1.1.3" above should be a *major* clue that you are about to take
something off the vendor branch. (1.1.1.x is a revison on a vendor
branch)

P.S. and yes I *do* typically run ``cvs diff | cdiff'' before pulling
the commit trigger.
