Subject: On patching without write access to CVS
Date: Sun, 13 May 2007 18:56:34 -0700
Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)

Folks,

Thanks to Andrew Dunstan for pointing me toward cvsutils.  As not
everybody knows about them, here's a small patch which lets people
know at least in theory where they are.

Cheers,
D
