I suggest simply using "$@".  While robustness in the face of spaces in 
filenames is a good idea (although no-one should try to commit such 
filenames to the GCC tree), allowing for non-POSIX shells that don't 
handle "$@" properly is surely an irrelevance for a script run on 
gcc.gnu.org.

Could the script also give a warning if someone commits through the old
"egcs" link rather than the "gcc" directory?  I'd like to see these
residual egcs references go away more from gcc-cvs.  The script 
contrib/newcvsroot allows someone to convert easily.
