I'm confused re: the netbsd mention. Don't we support CVSROOT/config ?
So we shouldn't have to patch up for that, right?
As for legacy operation. I'm not sure that it is a good idea to add
support back in for legacy repositories. If netbsd is already using the
new form it might be better to stick with the new form which will put
pressure on the other projects to update their CVS subsystems. What
FreeBSD did was a hack... a very good hack, but a hack nonetheless. When
the CVS people adopted the feature they decided to implement it
differently. We should probably stick with the official implementation
and get/pressure the people running the hack to restandardize on the
official implementation.
