cvs-import is the most sane way to update an rpm when we are upstream.
There are quite a few rpm's for which we are the upstream and importing
into 'dist cvs' is just the final step after preparing a new release. I
really don't want some tool forcing me to review the changes I just made
to make sure I approve of my own work.
You aren't the type of people that we want to guard against.
We want to guard against:
- people checking stuff in, blindly blowing away whatever might be
there. (in cases where other people might have added fixes)
- checking stuff in that did not even have a cursory sanity check of
"cvs diff" that often catches stupid mistakes.
I don't think we should break cvs-import.sh for non-initial commits, but
instead discourage its use unless the user really knows what they are doing.
