Well I know I'm confused. I missed the part where someone held a gun to
your head and told you that you had to maintain a CVS repository. I know
that the first thing I do when considering a major FreeBSD project is to
go look at the history to make sure I don't make the same mistakes that
have been made in the past. Having a partial history doesn't help me at
all. I could comment further, but I don't see the point, especially
given that the maintainer of the file that started this discussion both
agrees that steps can be taken to lessen its impact on the repository,
and has agreed to do so.
