Pity that not even the new VC optimizations made it acceptable for you
(I assume that you do use them, e.g. local diff and revert?)

Anyhow, I wonder if the existence and use of CVSup has any
implications for VC.  If there's anything that could be done in VC to
support such a setup seamlessly, I'm open for suggestions.
