Well, we've been hit by a couple of things here:

1. the audience of cvs-cur has been vastly increased lately.

2. We are aproaching a release. 

3. CTM doesn't understand moving files.

Contrary to src-cur, cvs-cur >does< take some big hits every now and
then.  I guess the "new" people needs a warning:

When the tree gets hit by a tag, or something gets deleted, you will
see big deltas coming your way.

Well, what can I say ?  "Be prepared" is about the best of it.

CTM is pretty much in the users hands right now.  I have little or
no time to work on it, and generally are limited to review and
commit submissions from users.  If you want it to cope better,
you will find the source in /usr/src/usr.sbin/ctm.

Future will arrive by its own means, progress not so.
