Re: Bug#140349: ITP: cvs-conf -- Manage your configuration files via CVS

i am not doubting this, but there's a reason why CVS disables the
permission storage mechanism by default: it works only sporadically
(read the source). are you aware of this? does cvs-conf make use of
it? or does it provide its own means to restore permissions and owner
information?
