I was thinking that it's just easier to track what's going on in the code. I 
know "diff" is good and all, but 'cvs diff' between arbitrary revisions is a 
lot easier to manage. And a WebCVS interface is even easier. That, plus "cvs 
up -d" lets me know I am *definitely* on the bleeding edge. And lastly, if 
you're going to suggest a patch, doing a "cvs up" before creating the patch 
would make it the submitters responsibility to ensure the patch works with 
the head branch.

But OK, it was just a suggestion. :)

Hehe - yeah, I thought so. I guess my gdb suggestion sounded *totally* out 
there. :)
