Similarly, though log_accum_bugzillafied needs replacing for a new system,
all the complexity to collect the bits of a commit in different
directories goes away, and we can probably avoid the problem mentioned in
htdocs-checkout preventing gcc-cvs-wwwdocs messages from including all the
information in the gcc-cvs messages. And rsyncing the repository after an
individual commit and getting a consistent copy should be much easier so
facilitating reliable regression testers testing every commit (which at 30
commits on HEAD a day and modern hardware speeds should be feasible).
