Re: patch: new 'cvs import -X' option.

[Chris G. Demetriou]

Oh, gack.  All that and I forgot to mention:

That patch is relative to 1.12.9.  (I would have done it relative to
current CVS, but registration is a PITA.)

(If people are interested, i started by implementing this against
1.11.x, since i want to use the feature ASAP.  So, I'd be glad to
provide a patch against 1.11.x as well, if people want it.)
