Either forgotten or ignored, I am sure.

I don't know, but I'd bet that any migration would be painless.

When I first sent the note about rCVS, I thought that was the same
thing as CVS 1.7 (Goes to show how much experience *I* have with it.)
Anyway, I think that what ever it is, it will PROBABLY offer some
hope/help in keeping our sites in sync.  I hoped that someone out there
would have some experience with the thing and be able to propose a
migration plan for using it.
