This escapes '$' characters in <<-handling, and gives preference to
the new branch when cvsps incorrectly reports a commit as originating
on an old branch.
.. and tell 'co' to shut up about the rcs noise.
This still leaves some branch issues up in the air: it looks like
cvsps has some questionable originating branch information, but I
don't know whether that's a cvsps bug or an actual bug in the
syslinux archive I'm using to test.
I'll let David Mansfield answer my questions about CVS. I'm a
total idiot when it comes to branches under CVS ("I'm pure!").
It's very hacky, and it needs lots of work, but it seems to have converted
Peter's "syslinux" archive successfully. Whether the end result is correct
or not is to be seen.
Tons of work still to do: do name conversion properly, and do tags etc.
And testing. Lots of testing.
