RCS and CVS can read the files (correctly, and modify them, correctly), and humans aren't supposed to touch the repository directly anyway. And if humans know enough about the RCS file format, they know how to identify newphrases. And the introduced newphrases will be documented, so humans who happen to read the files will still understand them. >--- End of forwarded message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
