If anyone is going to fix this, I suggest that this speed improvement is
made configurable - either for the user, as a command-line option to "cvs
commit", or at least for the CVS administrator, e.g., as an option in
CVSROOT/config.

I'd sure like to know *why* he felt that. The commit message
(src/commit.c rev 1.40) is no more revealing than the comment.
I imagine the change was made as a speed improvement, but that
doesn't seem sufficient grounds for the resulting violation of
user expectations -- at least, not without more justification
than was given.

A distributed system is one on which I cannot get any work done,
because a machine I have never heard of has crashed.
