Patches may be sent to bug-cvs@gnu.org

This is fixed in the cvs 1.12.1.1 (top-of-tree).

I think using -R might do this for you...

I'd love to see this patch.

This would also be good.

Yes, I would like to see this one.

If you want to work with top-of-tree and give us patches, it might even
be possible to get some of these changes into the tree before 1.12.2 is
created.
