Please note that there was at least one file system corruption which
affected also the CVS on the server. I'm sure most information could be
restored from backups, but honestly I doubt this is true for all
information.
Also note that CVS allows to change commit messages. There should be no
abuse of it, but it is at least technically possible to create fake
entries.

Oops, you're right. Debian admins probably have backups. IIRC Joey made
backups available in his home directory, don't know whether this is
still true.
