There's no useful way to grep the CVS repository for a version that
had some specific text, especially if you don't remember the text
accurately enough, and there's no record in anything like "cvs
annotate" for when some text was deleted. Checking out version after
version looking for something I remember only vaguely is not my idea
of fun.
So resurrecting it will not be easy. Therefore, I'd like to be
reasonably sure no one wants it back for quite some time. I hope you
understand and don't object.
