Nice. I guess the hard part of this is going to be creating DB schemas
that are reasonably portable. The SQL we use is as vanilla as it gets
;-)

It's missing from the POD though ;-)

Good to see patches coming to cvsserver -- I haven't been able to do
much on it lately, and my pet projects are pretty hard. If anyone
cares, they are:

 - mimic CVS branch support
 - allow skewing version numbers to match an existing repo

with those 2 in place, we'd have a means of applying a "vampire tap"
to an existing cvs server and take over without anyone noticing. But
tehy are both hard, hard hard.

cheers.
