Yes, please :-) I wrote cvsexportcommit originally, and use it on a
huge cvs checkout that is hosted on SF.net (slow!). My commits are
small (3~5 files). I agree with using only one connection so commits
with many files are sanity-checked faster, but status needs to ask
explicitly about the files it's about to touch.
