This package fails to build with Perl 5.10.0 (currently in experimental.)
I looked into this a bit, and the reason is a change in Getopt::Long
between 2.35 (bundled with Perl 5.8.8) and 2.37 (bundled with Perl
5.10.0). The argument given to a user callback function is now a
'Getopt::Long::CallBack' object that is overloaded to return the option
name when stringified for backwards compatibility, but it's always 0
when numified.
In this case, bin/gentrevml is using the argument of which() in a numeric
context, so the '--cvs' argument becomes false when it used to be true.

NAME
gentrevml - Generate a .revml file used by the t/ scripts
SYNOPSIS
perl bin/gentrevml --(revml|p4|cvs|vss) [--bootstrap] [--no-a-big-file]
[--batch=1]
DESCRIPTION
The test suite uses a basic RevML file to check to see vcp it can copy
in to and out of a repository correctly. This is done for each
repository class.
Note that going through a repository may lose some information, so the
test suite can't always compare the input RevML to the output RevML.
Only the revml->revml case is known to be idempotent.
I chose to do this over using some base repository because not every
user is going to happen to have that repository, and (2) not every
repository will pass through all information correctly.
