Ok. I'm still a guy of ChangeLog files, which you generally needed for
CVS to keep track of a large project :-) As the CVS commit message
aren't much good anyway, I kept them short. Also for my own project I'm
considering to replace these with larger commit messages and drop the
ChangeLog files.

Don't trust my Perl; its just copy and intelligent(-ish) paste :-) Works
for me though and this isn't very complicated. Is there a test suite for
git-cvsserver?
