Ok -- perhaps that was a bit of a rushed statement. Reading back on
the archives, it seems like it may have been intentional. The new
header format is more succint, but while technically I can fish the
data at the porcelain layer, it is quite convenient to get it directly
from the commit header. Specially given that git-log has the info at
that time...

I have to confess, I don't quite follow the changes happening in that
series of commits. If --parents is really not coming back I'll change
the log entry parsing in cvsserver. However, I suspect git-log should
error out on it ("fatal: deprecated option") so porcelains break
explicitly, rather than silently.

cheers,
