Package: cvs
Version: 1:1.12.9-1
Severity: normal
The changes to the loginfo handling as of version 1.12.6 (apart from
warranting a major version bump, but that's not your problem) have faulty
backward compatibility support.
In particular, when one does a cvs add of a directory, the old version
called the loginfo script with a single argument:
path - New Directory
The new version instead calls loginfo with:
path - New Directory,NONE,NONE
This broke cvslog. My guess is that the same may apply to cvs import
(which similarly generates one of these special messages), but I haven't
tested that.

I agree. The version which had the problem was uploaded pre sarge. This
should indeed give people enough time to cope to the change.
