Is using cvs-import for updating a package really discouraged?
From the discussion I was pointed to it seems it has to do with having
the maintainer(s) look at the diffs before they commit anything, and
cvs-import.sh possibly nuking changes other people made... Someone with
more knowledge on the topic might be able to tell us a little more or
step in if I'm wrong;
Afaics, cvs-import.sh forces me to look at a diff, so I'm not sure if
this concern is still valid/current.
