The last time you suggested this, I offered to send you the source code
for the version of cvs that is being run on sources.redhat.com. And, I
suggested that if you would like to rebuild cvs, verify that it works,
and be available for bug reports for your changes, I'd be willing to
install your new cvs binary on the system.

Why haven't you taken me up on my offer?
