And for use to rerun changes in case recovery from backups is needed.
(Some CVS operations, e.g. tagging, don't have a mechanism by which they
can run scripts to send mail etc.. It would be useful if any replacement
version control system allowed every write operation to run a script given
full information about the operation, so a proper distributed audit trail
of changes like this can be created.)
