Bummer.

This kind of functionality would probably be server side only, which wouldn't
require an update of the end-user client. We need to upgrade anyway, so if
some new version has such a feature, it's just one more reason to bite the
bullet and upgrade cvs on the server.

Dunno. You might head over to cyclic's home page and see if they mention
anything interesting.

Yes, I think this would still be very useful
