You mean,
cvs commit: Using deprecated info format strings. Convert your scripts to
use the new argument format and remove '1's from your info file format
strings.
? It's not a very good warning message. The verb "using" doesn't have a
subject, and it's difficult to guess. Does "info" mean info, as in info
pages? Probably not. But it's something that's got "format strings" of
one kind or another. I wonder what "scripts" are meant, because I didn't
use any, having merely typed "cvs commit programs.texi". I wonder what
"argument" has a new format, and it would be interesting to know what the
old format is too. "Remove my '1's"? "From my info file format
strings"?
What was this guy smoking?
