Once again, this has clobbered existing changes made to Org in the Emacs CVS. For example, my changes to org-rmail. This seems to happen every time Org gets updated. I don't have the heart to investigate further exactly what may have been lost in other files, since the changes appear as a single, 40000 line diff, with a single commmon, massive CVS commit log that just duplicates the ChangeLog. I'm aware that this is the commit style recommended by some people, but I find it unreadable with CVS. Also, Daniel M German (listed as an org-protocol author) does not seem to have a copyright assignment in copyright.list (although I am not sure if that file is always definitive these days).
