a tiny patch for _cvs

a tiny patch for _cvs

[Akinori MUSHA]

Hello again,

We found that the compdef for cvs(1) didn't grok the -R option, which
had been introduced by FreeBSD (and later adopted by OpenBSD) quite
some time ago.

As the option is very useful for resolving the permission issue and
improving the performance over NFS or SSH, we really get used to it.
We'd appreciate if you could kindly merge the attached patch.


Regards,

I've added that.  Thanks for your work on improving our support for
BSDish systems.

One comment: you could save us some work if you could build your diffs
relative to the top level directory (the one with sub-directories
Completion, Src, ...).


Bye
  Sven
