There are a few items in admin that are handy at least for me:

1) Modifying the log message if it has been mistakenly copied from the
previous commit in WinCvs. Happens now and then and is misleading in
future reading of the logs.

2) When one stores binaries (like we do), the principle is that
normally only tagged releases should be committed. But this tends to
be forgotten and a large number of intermediate unusable binaries (exe
file for instance) get committed. THis in turn leads to the RCS file
growing to a very large size on the server, which then leads to the
slowing down of cvs operations on that module.
If you consider that, an admin command that simply cuts away a number
of non-useful intermediate binaries is really handy to reduce the RCS
file size.
