Sounds good. I'll give it a try. I'm testing the branch ancestor logic, which seems to be working better now. The version I sent to the list yesterday was pretty bogus for some cases, as well as reporting the ancestor multiple times for any give branch.

There is something strange about 'cvs import' I believe which causes various bizarre things to happen to the first cvsps patchset. I haven't looked at mutt cvs yet, but this could be the cause. If you see a lot of version numbers 1.1.1.1 then this is indeed the problem.

I'll look at taking these patches upstream. The 'MT' fix is already in my cvs of cvsps, and the rest looks pretty good.

Do you know where I can get attribution information for these changes? Are they all from you? (I'm not familiar with debian at all)
