Hi Joachim,

take a deep breath and relax.

No, this is not the fault of CVS, but of the ScriptTool that is used for
preprocessing the java files. This is already a known issue.

True, but that can be fixed easily (cvs admin -kkv *.xml).

This is recently contributed code that Thomas added to CVS a few days ago.
He might have missed the gnu-regexp package.

All the things you mentioned are not the fault of CVS or because of several
people working concurrently, everything you described would have happened
even if the project was not under CVS control. Human being make errors. But
it is nothing that cannot be fixed.

And I hope it remains under CVS, it makes it a lot easier to contribute
code.
