	'Cause I did not trust cvs-co-upgrade to do the right thing in
 all cases (indeed, as some people have pointed out, cvs should do the
 right thing by itself anyway). Human oversight, in my opinion, was
 required, so cvs-co-upgrade just provides a sanity check that humans
 can then use to bring their checked out dirs into synch.

 Suppose for a moment that the automobile industry had developed at
 the same rate as computers and over the same period: how much cheaper
 and more efficient would the current models be?  If you have not
 already heard the analogy, the answer is shattering.  Today you would
 be able to buy a Rolls-Royce for $2.75, it would do three million
 miles to the gallon, and it would deliver enough power to drive the
 Queen Elizabeth II.  And if you were interested in miniaturization,
 you could place half a dozen of them on a pinhead. Christopher Evans
