Does anyone have any strong feelings about me storing the file 
description message from 'cvs add -m' in the timestamp field in the 
CVS/Entries file after a `+' sign, like the conflict timestamp would 
have been stored?  I'll have to encode the string to hide EOL & '/'s, of 
course.

This would make RCS description field messages added with `add -m 
<desc>' work in client/server mode.

I'm about half-way to a prototype.  For some reason the add works but 
then CVS exits with the wrong exit code but no error messages.  I'm 
working on getting ot the bottom of that.
