 I'll give it a shot and let you know. Cannot reach it at present, the

 I intentionaly left the cvsadmin where it was instead of creating a
project for it on Savannah. I assumed that the logical step would be
to submit the changes to the cvs maintainers so that it's included in
the next cvs version. That would reduce the long term maintainance. Since
those scripts are in the contrib directory of cvs, I also assumed that
a modified version would not be subject to endless discussions about style,
compatibility etc.

 If you don't want to go as far as that (which I personnaly understand
very well) then it would make sense to have the current cvsadmin visible
thru Savannah. However, since it's a Savannah specific change and not a
standalone project, it would make more sense (IMHO) to make it a subdirectory
of the savannah repository instead of creating a separate project.

 Cheers,
