Hey, we're all human!  Mistakes are part of the job, wear them with 
pride!  :-)  (and you sometimes get a free conical hat! :-)

I suspect if you grep the commit log for "aargh", "damn" and "oops", you'd 
find more than a few.

Sorry if this sounded like the "spanish inquisition" or something.  I 
know what you did was harmless, but I just couldn't let it go uncommented 
on in case some of the other 52 committers decided that it was ok to do 
rcs or cvs admin operations on the repository, especially for minor things.  
(that way leads to madness)

Lets chalk this one up to experience..

And as a general statement:  Please folks, keep away from the admin 
commands.  If somebody botches something badly it can be a real nightmare 
to fix.
