Thanks. Having a local copy of the CVS tree is very handy, but now I
know I can drop back to src-cur if cvs-cur gets too much.

Fair enough, but it's impossible to be prepared for something if you
aren't given any warning of it. I'm prepared for the gcc update and
the next release as they have been discussed on the mailing lists, but
I wasn't prepared for the PC98 and TCL imports as they literally
appeared out of nowhere.

Point taken! Actually, as I said before, CTM has worked extremely well
for me and I'm very happy with it. The change I'd most like to see is
a "reverse CTM" which allows you to commit things by email...

Where did you say the source was again? 8-)
