+CVS does use newphrases to implement the `PreservePermissions'
+extension introduced in CVS 1.9.26.  The following new keywords are
+defined when PreservePermissions=yes:
+
+   owner
+   group
+   permissions
+   special
+   symlink
+   hardlinks
+
+The contents of the `owner' and `group' field should be a numeric uid
+and a numeric gid, respectively, representing the user and group who
+own the file.  The `permissions' field contains an octal integer,
+representing the permissions that should be applied to the file.  The
+`special' field contains two words; the first must be either `block'
+or `character', and the second is the file's device number.  The
+`symlink' field should be present only in files which are symbolic
+links to other files, and absent on all regular files.  The
+`hardlinks' field contains a list of filenames to which the current
+file is linked, in alphabetical order.  Because files often contain
+characters special to RCS, like `.' and sometimes even contain spaces
+or eight-bit characters, the filenames in the hardlinks field will
+usually be enclosed in RCS strings.  For example:

+The hardlinks field should always include the name of the current
+file.  That is, in the repository file README,v, any hardlinks fields
+in the delta nodes should include `README'; CVS will not operate

+
+1998-05-02  Jim Meyering  <meyering@ascend.com>
+

+
+1998-05-04  Jim Kingdon  <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>

+
+1998-04-20  Jim Kingdon  <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
+
+	(This diff was run by devel-cvs and everyone seemed to like it).
+	* diff.c (diff_file_nodiff): Make HEAD mean the head of the branch
+	which contains the sticky tag, not the sticky tag itself.
+	* rcs.c, rcs.h (RCS_branch_head): New function.
+	* sanity.sh (head): Update for this changed behavior.
+
+1998-04-19  Jim Kingdon  <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
+
+	* sanity.sh: Move emptydir tests from basicb to new test emptydir.
+	This is because we now need a module definition to create Emptydir;
+	"co -d" doesn't cut it anymore.
+
+1998-04-17  Petri Virkkula
+
+	* server.c (mkdir_p): Ignore EROFS error (like for EACCES).
+
+1998-04-16  Jim Kingdon  <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
+
+	* checkout.c (checkout_proc): Don't create directories above the

+	(struct dir_to_build): New field just_chdir.
+	(build_dirs_and_chdir): Test it.
+	* sanity.sh (abspath): New tests abspath-7* test for a bug which
+	we fix, in which CVS would create bogus "D/////" entries in
+	CVS/Entries.
+	(abspath): Revise abspath-3* tests to test for the fact that we no
+	longer create directories above the last one specified in "co -d".
+	I checked that CVS 1.9 gives an error on this, so changing this
+	behavior back should be OK.
+	(cvsadm-2d3): Likewise (also checked CVS 1.9 for this case).
+	(cvsadm-2d3d): Likewise (also checked CVS 1.9 for this case).
+	(cvsadm-2d{4,5,6,7,8}, cvsadm-N2d{3,4,5,6,7,8}): Adjust for new
+	behavior (same case as cvsadm-2d3).
+	(cvsadm-2d{4,5,6,7,8}d, cvsadm-N2d{3,4,5,6,7,8}d): Remove test
+	(same case as cvsadm-2d3d).
+	(cvsadm): For remote, skip most these tests.
+	(abspath): When cleaning up, delete mod1 and mod2 rather than mod1
+	twice (longstanding bug, apparently only becomes visible if you

+
+1998-04-14  Wilfredo Sanchez  <wsanchez@apple.com>

+
+1998-04-11  Jim Kingdon  <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
+
+	* client.c (client_senddate): Pass SDATEFORM not DATEFORM to

+
+	* history.c (history, select_hrec): Change since_date from time_t
+	to RCS format.  Use the usual machinery (in particular, Make_Date
+	and client_senddate) so that it will work on VMS too.
+	* main.c, cvs.h (date_from_time_t): New function.
+	* sanity.sh (history): New test, to test that this didn't break
+	anything (also tests client_senddate fix).
+
+1998-04-11  Norbert Kiesel  <nk@iname.com>
+
+	* server.c (cvs_output_binary): Shut up "gcc -Wall" by removing
+	unnecessary else if test.
+	* server.c (check_password): Fix uninitialized memory read if
+ 	shadow passwords are used.  Also added some comments.
+	* rcs.c (RCS_checkout): Make sure to call chown with -1 for uid or

+	discovered incidentally in writing rcs2 test).
+
+1998-04-09  Jim Kingdon  <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
+
+	* filesubr.c, cvs.h (link_file): Remove; no longer used.
+
+1998-04-08  Jim Kingdon  <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
+
+	* recurse.c (do_dir_proc): Restore update_dir rather than a
+	computation which appears to, but does not necessarily, restore it
+	(reported by various people; this fix is from Greg Hudson).
+	* sanity.sh (importc): New test, tests for this fix.
+
+1998-03-27  Jim Kingdon  <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
+
+	* rcs.c (RCS_lock): If the revision is already locked, give an
+	error rather than dumping core.
+	* sanity.sh (reserved): New test reserved-13c tests for this.
+
+1998-03-25  Loren J. Rittle
+
+	* import.c (add_rev): Rewrite to use RCS_FLAGS_KEEPFILE option
+	of RCS_checkin() to avoid damage to imported files instead of
+	externally undoing damage after the fact.  The side effect is
+	that callers of add_rev() may now incrementally walk the
+	entries of the current directory without seeing gratuitous
+	changes to the directory structure (under at least one file
+	system under at least one OS).
+
+1998-03-18  Jim Kingdon  <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
+
+	* error.c (error): Save and restore errno.  Should fix test case
+	conflicts3-23 on SCO 5.0.2.  Reported by Steve Cameron.
+
+	* sanity.sh (admin): Rename admin-26-o* to admin-26-*; the "o"
+	stands for "cvs admin -o".  Add comment about length of tests.
+	Use ${PLUS}.
+
+1998-03-05  Dan Wilder <dan@gasboy.com>
+
+ 	* Fix problem with cvs admin in which -ntag:branch
+ 	option associated tag with the branch's head revision.
+ 	Should have used branch number.  Entailed in this fix,
+ 	the following.
+
+ 	* Add new functions "RCS_exist_rev", "RCS_exist_tag",
+ 	"RCS_tag2rev", and "RCS_valid_rev" to rcs.c.  RCS_tag2rev
+ 	is similar to RCS_gettag, but does less interpretation.
+
+ 	* Plug a small memory leak.
+
+ 	* Add tests admin-26 through admin-29 to sanity.sh,
+ 	to test "cvs admin -n".
+
+1998-03-17  Samuel Tardieu  <sam@inf.enst.fr>
+
+	* server.c (server_register): protect dereferencing timestamp in
+	the trace message when it is null, to avoid a segmentation fault.
+
+1998-03-16  Jim Kingdon  <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
+
+	* options.h.in (MY_NDBM): Rewrite the comment explaining this
+	option.  It was not clear to everyone who "my" referred to, for
+	example.
+
+	* hardlink.c (list_linked_files_on_disk): Remove unused variables
+	err and p.
+	(list_linked_files_on_disk): Add comment about memory allocation
+	of return value.
+	* rcs.c (rcsbuf_getword): Shut up gcc -Wall with a "return 0".
+	(RCS_checkin): Remove unused variable fullpath.
+	* sanity.sh (hardlinks): Remove comment about spurious warnings;
+	the warnings are gone.
+
+1998-03-12  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
+
+	New functions for parsing and writing hardlink fields.
+	* rcs.c [PRESERVE_PERMISSIONS_SUPPORT] (puthardlink_proc): New
+	function.
+	(putdelta) [PRESERVE_PERMISSIONS_SUPPORT]: Use it.
+	(rcsbuf_getid, rcsbuf_getstring, rcsbuf_getword): New functions.
+	(getdelta): Call them, storing `hardlinks' field in vnode->hardlinks.
+	(RCS_reparsercsfile): When setting rdata->desc, xstrdup value
+	rather than rcsbuf_valcopying it (due to changes in how getdelta
+	handles keys and values in newphrases).
+
+	* sanity.sh (hardlinks): Use uglier filenames.  Checking out
+	hardlinked files no longer produces the same spurious diagnostics,
+	so fix that test.
+	(hardlinks-2.3): Renamed from hardlinks-2.2 (duplicate test name).
+
+	New infrastructure for managing hardlink lists internally...
+	* hardlink.c, hardlink.h (list_linked_files_on_disk,
+	compare_linkage_lists, find_checkedout_proc): New functions.
+	* rcs.h (struct rcsversnode) [PRESERVE_PERMISSIONS_SUPPORT]: New
+	member `hardlinks'.
+	* update.c (special_file_mismatch): Get hardlinks from
+	vp->hardlinks instead of from vp->other_delta.
+	* rcs.c (free_rcsvers_contents): Comment about freeing hardlinks
+	member.
+	(RCS_checkout) [PRESERVE_PERMISSIONS_SUPPORT]: Get hardlinks from
+	vers->hardlinks list instead of vers->other_delta.
+
+	... and removed obsolete code from earlier revs.
+	* hardlink.c, hardlink.h (list_files_linked_to,
+	cache_hardlinks_proc, list_files_proc, set_hardlink_field_proc):
+	Removed.
+	* hardlink.h: Removed `links' member from hardlink_info struct.
+	* commit.c (commit): Remove the call to cache_hardlinks_proc.
+	(check_fileproc) [PRESERVE_PERMISSIONS_SUPPORT]: Removed reference
+	to hlinfo->links.
+	* hardlink.c (update_hardlink_info): Same.
+	* update.c (get_linkinfo_proc): Same.
+
+	* rcs.c (RCS_checkout) [PRESERVE_PERMISSIONS_SUPPORT]: Use
+	vp->hardlinks and find_checkedout_proc to find recently-updated
+	files that may be hardlinked.
+	* update.c (special_file_mismatch): Use List * structures and
+	compare_linkage_lists for rev1_hardlinks and rev2_hardlinks.
+
+1998-03-16  Larry Jones  <larry.jones@sdrc.com>
+
+	* server.c (check_password): If shadow passwords are supported but no
+	entry is found in the shadow file, check the regular password file.
+
+1998-03-07  Jim Kingdon  <kingdon@harvey.cyclic.com>
+
+	* sanity.sh: Rename permissions test to perms since that is what
+	each of its individual tests are named.
+	* sanity.sh (perms symlinks hardlinks): Change CVSROOT to
+	CVSROOT_DIRNAME where appropriate.
+	(perms symlinks hardlinks): Disable/adjust the meat of the tests for
+	remote.
+	(symlinks): Link to ${TESTDIR}/fumble rather than
+	/fumble/mumble/grumble.  We shouldn't be making assumptions about
+	what might exist in random directories outside ${TESTDIR}.
+	* hardlink.c (cache_hardlinks_proc): Add comment about trimming
+	whitespace.
+
+1998-03-07  Tim Pierce  <twp@skepsis.com>
+
+	* rcs.c (RCS_checkout): Negation bug when checking out symlinks:
