I think I must have misunderstood you when we talked about it then.  I thought
the Reviewed by line was supposed to be there >in any case< as "who to point
the gun at".  Garretts CVS-INFO makes this somewhat clearer, but I still miss
the "step-by-step manual".

For instance Garrett insist that libmd should have been "cvs add"'ed instead
of imported.  I disagree.  If libmd had had just a couple of subdirs that
would have been a royal pain to do, with much bigger risk of errors.

I'd like to restate my caution against the "2nd system syndrome" again:
I know that we had a couple of bad commits during before 2.0, but we should
NOT make it too difficult for people to submit changes, or FreeBSD will stall.
We have to make an tradeoff here.  I'm all for reviews, except they should be
swift and not hold up things which are OK.

FreeBSD has, until now, not one single time had an undetected error. :-)
