Hi Boyd, others,

1) Why was there a line missing in the latest version? Is this a bug in
cvs/cvsnt?
2) Do you think there's a way to automate this check'n'fix process? Does a
repository checker/fixer exist? With the number of invalid change texts we
have now, I'd really to check them and either fix the corrupt version, or
delete the version including all the older ones.
