[PATCH] t9600: allow testing with cvsps 2.2, including beta versions

[Pavel Roskin]

Don't assume that unsupported versions are too old, they may be too new.

Excuse me, but we never assumed such.  

Neither too old nor too new ones are proven to work with us yet, so we
cannot be call them supported.

Let's apply your patch and see how well version 2.2 fares.

Thanks.

Hmm, I would have written:

	case "$..." in
        2.1 | 2.2 )

Is the reason why you have the asterisk there because the beta one claims
"2.2beta" or something (I am not suggesting to tighten the match, just
asking for information)?

The message was "skipping cvsimport tests, cvsps too old" so the  
assumption was there.

Fine with me, but please allow for extra specifiers.

It's cvsps 2.2b1 from Fedora Development (cvsps-2.2-0.1.b1.fc10.x86_64)

$ cvsps -h 2>&1 | grep version
cvsps version 2.2b1

Heh, you can blame me for making that assumption. But at the time I
wrote it, I think cvsps development had stagnated, so there weren't new
versions. :)
