The diff from cvs-1.10.8 is available from the website. If they want
to merge it they can. However I doubt there's any will or intention
to do it.
There are a lot of binary/text fixes in the cvsnt source tree, several
places
where I've had to weaken the case sensitivity, etc. to merge that into
the
main tree would be a lot of work for someone. You'd have to make sure
that the
existing functionality was unimpaired. I doubt you could do that in all
cases.
The removal of 'cvs admin -l' was a decision I took after the info-cvs
people had
just spent a week arguing whether it was a good idea. Ditto the extra
error message
when the CVSROOT is incorrect. Things like :ntserver: mode are cvsnt
specific...
those bits won't even compile on a unix system, and I'm not certain it's
suficiently
protected by #ifdefs.
Anyway do the Unix people really want cvs littered with '#ifdef
_WIN32'...'#endif' macros?

Often fixes have been going into cvsnt *before* the main cvs tree. In
some ways (cvs edit -c
for example) the cvsnt tree is ahead of the main tree (which has been
around for a year but
still isn't in 1.11).
Ultimately it's all GPL software. I don't control it, nor would I wish
to. If you want to make patches to
add server functionality to the main CVS tree then that's fine by me.
It'll make my own diffs smaller.
