  In reply to Paul Traina who said
  
  Please, no-one do any more of this.
  
  Those of use who sup the cvs tree get stuck with this forever since
  groff will always be in the cvs tree and if this carries on eventually
  even those of us with lots (I have 2 Gb) of disk are going to have
  to bail out.

At some point, we're going to have to remove groff from the cvs tree.

  I guess the only way to do this is to remove all the current files and then
  import into the same area of the tree. That's what I did when I ditched the
  old libforms and imported a completely new one although I admit that
  was a much simpler job. The principle's the same though.
  
The idea here was to avoid a discontinuity, otherwise there's no way to
ask CVS:  "Give me a snapshot of freebsd 2.0R sources."

Every other convoluted way of doing the same thing involved just as much
code getting stuffed into the attic (sigh).
