To my big surprise I found that "cvs update" removed all the CVS logs
from "/usr/cvs/CVSROOT-*/commitlogs/*" (collection cvsroot-all).
While I do use SVN to keep source and ports updated on my system, I was
used to scan the CVS log files for commit messages of interest, to
locate commit messages where I did not remember the affected files, and
to have much faster access to recent commit messages than via "svn log"
(or when off-line ...).
Now I'd like to know, whether the log files have been removed as a side
effect of cleaning up after the security incident, or whether they were
deemed unnecessary remains from ancient CVS times?
Best regards, STefan
PS: I do have backups of the log files, but I'm really annoyed by these
files being deleted on my system when I wanted to check for new
information that might have been added to them ...
