Add '-g' main option to cvs to better support shared-group access
to a common checked-out *working* set by multiple users. See manual
page for details.
things fixed in here, including the '-ko' vs. -A problem with
remote cvs which caused all files with -ko to be resent each time
(which is damn painful over a modem, I can tell you). It also found a
heap of stray empty directories that should have been pruned with the -P
flag to cvs update but were not for some reason.
It also has the fully integrated rcs and diff, so no more fork/exec
overheads for rcs,ci,patch,diff,etc. This means that it parses the control
data in the rcs files only once rather than twice or more.
If the 'cvs diff' vs. Index thing is going to be fixed for future patch
compatability, this is the place to do it.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
