Contributors (PCL-CVS—Emacs Front-End to CVS)

1.1 Contributors to PCL-CVS

Contributions to the package are welcome. I have limited time to work on this project, but I will gladly add any code that you contribute to me to this package (see Bugs (known and unknown)).

The following persons have made contributions to PCL-CVS.

Brian Berliner wrote CVS, together with some other contributors. Without his work on CVS this package would be useless…
Per Cederqvist wrote most of the otherwise unattributed functions in PCL-CVS as well as all the documentation.
Inge Wallin wrote the skeleton of pcl-cvs.texi, and gave useful comments on it. He also wrote the files elib-node.el and compile-all.el. The file cookie.el was inspired by Inge.
Linus Tolke contributed useful comments on both the functionality and the documentation.
Jamie Zawinski contributed pcl-cvs-lucid.el, which was later renamed to pcl-cvs-xemacs.el.
Leif Lonnblad contributed RCVS support (since superseded by the new remote CVS support).
Jim Blandy contributed hooks to automatically guess CVS log entries from ChangeLog contents, and initial support of the new Cygnus / Cyclic remote CVS, as well as various sundry bug fixes and cleanups.
Jim Kingdon contributed lots of fixes to the build and installation procedure.
Greg A. Woods contributed code to implement the use of per-file diff buffers, and vendor join diffs with emerge and ediff, as well as various and sundry bug fixes and cleanups.
Greg Klanderman implemented toggling of marked files, setting of CVS command flags via prefix arguments, updated the XEmacs support, updated the manual, and fixed numerous bugs.
Stefan Monnier added a slew of other features and introduced even more new bugs. If there’s any bug left, you can be sure it’s his.
Masatake YAMATO made a gracious contribution of his cvstree code to display a tree of tags which was later superseded by the new cvs-status-mode.

Apart from these, a lot of people have sent us suggestions, ideas, requests, bug reports and encouragement. Thanks a lot! Without you there would be no new releases of PCL-CVS.
