#8 New features: Prevent diffs, generate CVSWeb URL references

[Michael Hohmuth]

(Crossposted between mailing list and the patch tracker
on the SF project website)

This patch adds two new features:

1. Options -n / --nodiffs prevents diff output even if
the loginfo format string is %{sVv}.

2. Options -l / --links generate URL references to a
CVSWeb service (such as Sourceforge's). Options -w /
--cvsweb and -r / --repo control which CVSWeb service
is to be referenced.

The patch is relative to CVS version 1.29

(Too bad the file upload didn't work. I'll post the patch
to the mailing list.)

In retrospect, it was a bad idea to use "<>" braces around
the URLs syncmail generates with this patch: SF's
mailing-list archiving software doesn't grok this syntax and
includes the closing ">" in the URL is recovers from emails.
I therefore suggest to remove the braces:

Here is a new, bug-fixed version of my patch (again relative
to CVS revision 1.29. In this version, it now generates
correct CVSWeb references for deleted files (aka files in
the Attic).

(Let's see if my patch is attached to my comment this time;
if not, I'll send it in separate mail to the mailing list.)
