It is the longstanding policy of this team that changes to the source
are not accepted without accompanying doc and test changes because any
changes not documented and tested simply do not hold up over time.
Please see the HACKING file in the top level of the CS source
distribution for more on this topic.

Other than that, I have and still do consider that patch to be a great
idea!  The only reason it isn't part of the CVS source tree yet is that
no one has come forth to add documentation to doc/cvs.texinfo and test
cases to src/sanity.sh yet.  If anyone would like to volunteer to finish
and submit a new patch, I will be happy to review it.  :)
