of cygwin development. How would this be a disadvantage?
If the two groups of developers are not mutually exclusive, it's a
disadvantage. It sets up a barrier to all those in one group contributing
to the other. In the past at least, some reasonably sized sub-group of
'setup.exe' developers also contributed to cygwin. Some in the cygwin
development team also contributed to 'setup.exe'. That's good. Minimizing
the pain involved in this cross-pollination is important.
Have you considered the possibility of patching 'cvs' to do what you want? Just curious (i.e. I'm *not* asking because that's what I think you should do).
