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 ...
