I like the basic idea, but copying ${CVSROOT}/rcstemplate feels like a
hack. The reason is that rcstemplate isn't a stock cvsroot file. It's
specified in the ${CVSROOT}/rcsinfo file, which is pattern matched by
directory name before the template file is selected. Ideally the
'cvs -T' command should process this file to work out which file to
copy instead of blindly using rcstemplate.
