starttls.el sync to Emacs CVS needed

[Ted Zlatanov]

Miles,

can you do a sync of Gnus to Emacs for starttls.el specifically?  A
change of mine is required before I can modify smtpmail.el in the Emacs
CVS.

In general, can you give me (and other Gnus developers with Emacs CVS
access) a way to do this sync?  I can always just commit my changes into
lisp/gnus/starttls.el in the Emacs CVS but don't know if that will cause
problems for you.

Thanks
Ted

I've done so.

It's probably more trouble than it's worth to try and extend the quirky
mechanism I use for more general use.

I think it's fine if you just commit "urgent" changes directly to Emacs
CVS.  It shouldn't cause any (or at least many) problems unless there
are gratuitous differences between the changes in the two repositories.

[In general the change volume in Gnus is low enough that manual
resolution of conflicts is quite tractable.]

OK, thanks.  I put my smtpmail.el changes into the Emacs CVS as well, so
it's all done.
