How is that useful to CVS users like me? Archive: This is really part of the changeset name; it could be put into the Revision: header I think. Creator: This is redundant in this case, but since CVS checkins from arch probably will occur from a single `gateway user' so that it's necessary to record the _actual_ author somewhere. I see two possibilities: 1. We should think of this person as the one who checked in the change. If so, the info is useful but the CVS checkin user info is useless. This name should go in the CVS checkin user name, not in a separate "Creator" field. 2. We should not think of this person as the one who checked in the change. Then the info is useless. Which of these is appropriate depends on how the arch checkin setup will be used. Will people need to have Savannah write-access to Emacs in order to enter changes in the arch repository? If so, I think we should do #1.
