No offense meant, but doesn't this show precisely what CVS's strength
is?  Had you recorded the fix, we wouldn't be still looking for it :-)

But I agree wholeheartedly that CVS is only a partial solution and
that the needs it attempts to address vary widely.  I'm tempted to
create a mailing list specially to discuss a CVS-like development
that merges the Plan 9 backup technology into it.  Any takers?
