Right. I thought I suggested that "it" (the double-commit) is a mess
for repoman. Not that it is repoman's fault.

It seems that what you call "mess" means needing a double commit for a
single "repoman commit". That to me isn't a mess, but a performance
issue, and as I indicated a possible point of corruption. But we've
dealt long enough with the situation without problems to ignore that
point.
But to repeat:
- no I'm not against removing the $Header: $ stuff
- yes I'd even like to use another VCS which can make my life easer
- but, as long as we're on CVS, I'd prefer it when you'd keep my life
sort of bearable
- so, keep the $Header: $ stuff for Prefix' sake (me) as long as
we're using CVS
