I was under the impression that Derek was waiting for documentation and
test cases or the --allow-root-regexp patch as documented here:

    https://ccvs.cvshome.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=41

I have no objections to adding such code to the cvs 1.12 feature branch.

I would like to see test cases and documentation if possible...

I looked it up on the cvshome.org issues database... I had not
previously been aware of the issue.

Well, I don't have it on my list of things to do...
(I am presently swamped in non-CVS hacking work.)

However, given that CVS maintenance has just moved to

   https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/cvs/

it seems likely that this will become more urgent.
