RE: Bug tracking.

[Steven Buroff]

I would like to vote for this feature too. CVS's support for bug
tracking is poor to nonexistent and many people have commented on
it and requested better support. Tags don't really do it.

Could you please tell us why think cvs will never have this feature?
If
you think it should never have this feature, I would like to hear
about
that, too.

The feature would allow automatic recovery of some of the information
which
developers--including the developers of cvs itself--maintain manually
in
the files Changelog, so I do not see how it could be a *bad* thing to
offer.
