Maintaining a CVS repository is necessary only if you are working on the code, so your proposal would only affect devlopers, not Joe User. Normal users do not maintain copies of the repository and do not have a frequent need to examine history. There's always cvsweb for occasional browsing. > I do object to the characterization by these developers that it CANNOT be > done. I don't remember anyone saying that. Obviously, it can be done. It's just that nobody wants to, except you. Guess what: That means you get to do it, or stop whining!
