The latter *were* removed, over a year and a half ago, prior to the
CVS 1.11.7 and 1.12.1 releases. References to the command option `-n'
were removed from both the source and the manuals, for exactly the
reasons you suggest they should have been. I did the work myself.
There should be some emails discussing it in the archives, if you are
interested.
