Trying to use the client, but it has Java2 dependencies. I'm slowly
working through them.

It's GPL and thus not compatable with Apaches licensing scheme.
Cheers,

I've made these changes, but it seems that this client is pretty
immature/incomplete. I've already got a client of my own that
implements cvs log, status, diff, so I am going to continue working
on it. I've been working purely from the protocol specification
document.

I've looked at it. It's not really set up to be a programmer callable
library, and doesn't provide any sort of command line interface. The
one at
http://javacvs.netbeans.org/library/index.html
does provide a command line, but has some minor dependencies on Java2
collection classes (List, LinkedList, Iterator which are in
collections.jar), and new methods in java.io.File (createNewFile,
getParentFile,isHidden and listFiles). I haven't been able to run it
all the way through, but it looks fairly complete. I'm going to hack
it to use my own subclass of File that implements these methods.

The ASF board would have to make a ruling on that I think since we don't
have a known way that the SPL (basically MPL) and ASF license interact. It's
totally clear that they can use our code. But going the other way is
something I'm not sure of. I'll be asking and replying.
