The purpose of the state-heuristic was to avoid contacting the remote repository when the user had not requested explicitly the operation (e.g. computing the file status for the mode-line), or the operation could be carried locally (e.g. "cvs diff " which uses the CVS/Base/ copy). I.e. not a question of performance, really, more one of making it work when disconnected. Stefan
