Package: cvs
Version: 2:1.12.13+real-15
Severity: wishlist

I was confused for a bit today because I ended up looking at this info
page.  I had half-remembered that `cvs init' existed but didn't find
it and convinced myself I had imagined it.

The info page has a list of cvs subcommands preceded by a paragraph in
the place where info manuals always have blather you must skip over,
telling you that what follows lies by omission.

It would be nicer if /all/ the cvs subcommands were listed there.

Thanks,
Ian.

If I emailed you from an address @fyvzl.net or @evade.org.uk, that is
a private address which bypasses my fierce spamfilter.
