Heh, oh well, at least those other languishing requests are officially 'Not 
Our Problem' (tm)...

Cool.

Seems the deeper one gets into cvs the more hidden 'semi-gotchas' there are, 
apart from the more obvious ones like cvs not really understanding 
directories.

Ok, excellent, congratulations new official idlefork 'cvsmeister'...  ;^)

Actually, although it has been a year, and idle has progressed from version 
0.5 to 0.8, both David Scherer and Guido have indicated that there may not be 
an awful lot to merge this time.  I guess we'll see soon enough. I'm gonna do 
a fresh checkout now and start having a look.

Regards,
Stephen.
ps. I'll cc this by idle-dev so folks there know things are moving again
