Hi Sylvain, Thanks! It wasn't officially needed there. It would be needed if I were syncing emacs' cvs-to-git in the cvs vserver. Currently, I'm doing it via the host vserver. > Incidentally, to bypass packages dependencies I had to create a fake > "cvs" package, using the 'equivs' method I discussed earlier.

It looks like your cvs client sent a 'T' change command, which isn't recognized. Only 'D'elete, 'M'odified and 'A'dded are recognized. What client/version are you using?
