I have patches that add a small note to the info file (it has a
sizable section on rsh-specific stuff that I didn't want to touch) and
update the man page. The problem is that the info file
(src/contrib/cvs/doc/cvs.texinfo) is still on the vendor branch. I've
read enough flam^Wdiscussions about how evil it is to take stuff off
the vendor branch to know better than to jump in and do it without
asking.
So, Peter, as the maintainer of cvs and a repo-meister, is the docs
update worth taking the info file off the vendor branch? I think at
least the man page update is since the man page is already off the
vendor branch. Patch attached below.
