Not to change the subject, but if I understand what you are looking to do, you 
should really check out the Subversion project:

	http://subversion.tigris.org/

which is not fully complete but contains much of what you are asking for.  It is 
the logical sucessor to cvs and is intended to be feature compatible with cvs at 
1.0 release.  It has a completely redesigned architecture and many features that 
simply are not possible with cvs.

I don't want to suggest that Tony has not done a fabulous job pushing cvs/cvsnt 
as far as he has.  But the basic design of cvs depends on the rather limited rcs 
file structure at its heart, and there is little he can do to change that.

'Nuff said...
