Re: Feature request or error?

[Aaron S. Hawley]

perhaps you should tell the cvsweb people about it.  CVS has a 'cvs log'
command, so the designers of this application probalby use it, rather than
RCS's rlog command.

i recall something like this error being reported here, before.  can't
find it though.  closest i found was:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/savannah-dev/2002-04/msg00353.html

looking around in the code, the 'missing author' error message looks to be
made by ci(1) and not rlog(1).
