CVS sleeps after commit here. Can we bisect it? I have 1.12.3 (mandriva). The patch below I think
would work around the problem, rather than trying to fix the test. but I'd like to have the last CVS
revision where it does not work for the patch comment
Since the sleep is per invocation of cvsexportcommit it won't hurt too much since it is rarely invoked
on a huge number of git commits.
