2.4 is, in fact, the target version for the trunk (1.2-dev).  The 1.1.x lin=
e
and prior require 1.5.2 for CVS browsing, 2.0 for Subversion.

If your changes to cvsdbadmin don't break compatibility with current
invocations of the script -- that is, if a command line I could run today
would still work the same with your patched script -- you might consider
using good ol' (?) getopt so that I can backport your improvements to 1.1.x
which will, unlike 1.2-dev, probably see a release this side of Eternity.
:-)  Or, send patches for both lines of development, with trunk getting the
optparse flavor and 1.1.x getting getopt.  Or, just send the optparse
version, and I'll try port it to getopt for 1.1.x myself.  Or ... well, I'm
out of "ors" at this point.  So let's try an "and":   And thanks in advance
for your patches!
