Sorry if I'm not being clear - but to me, serialization is exactly that - taking
something that is not a file, turning it into a file, and then storing that
file for access. 'Deserialization' is the process of reversing this, turning
a serialized file back into its non-file status.
And that's exactly what I want to do - I want to build in serialization
into CVS. And to have a generic, programmable way of cvs handling the
serialization so I don't have to write wrappers, and people don't have to
constantly be reinventing the wheel. I don't want a hack to do it, I want a
standardized 'tool' way of doing it. It makes sense to be integrated with CVS
for the simple reason that cvs provides the method for guaranteeing this
standard.

Look, just give me a method/procedure/whatever for submitting a patch to cvs,
and promise to be open (anybody on the list) if I have questions about the cvs
code. I'll promise to make the mechanism robust, generic, perhaps programmable.
And getting the ability to serialize and version control directories alone
should be more than worth the effort.
