Re: vc-cvs-global-switches and -f

Nothing special:

cvs -z9
diff -u2
tag -c
edit -c
update -dP
release -d
status -v

"release -d", for example, is something I don't want a program to do
for me, only when I explicitly type "cvs remove xxxx" on the command
line.

As I said earlier in the thread, this does not cause a problem for me;
I have my customizations on .emacs and .cvsrc, and I knew enough to do
M-x set-variable vc-cvs-global-options '("-f"). It just strikes me as
a bad default.

Yes, I agree with that. But even if it didn't complain, I would still
think the same (but I wouldn't have realized VC was using .cvsrc :-)
