Ah, I hadn't considered that. Good thing I didn't get around to
committing it just yet.

Gerald, do you happen to know?
Yes, this is not really a living document, but more reference
(though those bits generally are still revelant).

Looking at your patch, indeed CVS is something less and less
known, and CVS vs whatever else wasn't the point, so how about
if we go with your proposal and just write "[version control]",
i.e., with the angle brackets commonly used in quotes to indicate
when something is not verbatim, but adjusted for context?

Surely would be fine with me.

I see, thanks. Here's a proposed patch then.

Thanks,

Kyrill

Thanks,
Gerald
