Try using it _seriously_ someday and no explanation will be necessary. Suffice it to say that it has absolutely nothing to do with the documentation.
The problem with CVS is access protocol.
No, the problem is that CVS doesn't handle diverging source trees very well. The access to the tree is *completely* and *utterly* irrelevant to the problems at hand, and just because you want it changed doesn't mean you should get on your soapbox and call for it's implentation.
Stick the to *problem* that's being discussed, not one that you (and only you) consider to be a real problem with CVS.
You're tryin to break the model that CVS was designed for, and this part of the model is *NOT* one of the problems FreeBSD is facing now.
Nate: you're wrong.
The main argument against "let's get rid of -stable" is that -stable is known to be buildable. If -current were known to be buildable, it would support the argument for getting rid of -stable.
CVS can reconcile source trees (merge branch tags) just fine... we did that sort of thing at Novell with a CVS version of three years ago, no problems.
