No... mergpoints have existed since long before cvsnt 2.0.9.

WSAD is extremely fragile... tiny things can break it, since officially CVSNT 
isn't supported by WSAD (IBM themselves told be they do not support such 
installations, and I get no feedback from the Eclipse developers as they don't 
support CVSNT either) then I'm left with no choice but to not support it. 
I've done all I can - if CVSNT is pretending to be a Unix server and 
repository prefixes are on, then it seems to work... later versions of WSAD 
are hardcoded to reject CVSNT servers as soon as they see them, hence the fake 
unix option.  That's only a stopgap though... eventually a version of WSAD 
will come out that detects the faking and stops that too - at that point I'll 
concede defeat & probably just stop answering questions about it.
