Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Document current cvsps limitations.
Date: Sat, 27 May 2006 18:39:33 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060527163933.474.4059.stgit@gandelf.nowhere.earth> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20060527163641.474.93575.stgit@gandelf.nowhere.earth>


Since there is no bugtracker that I know of, let's just use the scripts
themselves to document their limitations.
