Several of our developers used to put in quite a bit of time into CVS "repo copies" and other such tasks. I do not know the weight of such things these days, but I haven't seen much traffic about them. I'm hoping the SVN reduced them quite a bit. We had some people who would be much more beneficial kernel work, instead doing repository surgery on a regular basis for people. Glad that is over. -Alfred
