Valid-requests is a standard part of the protocol & should really be
sent.
The script as I posted works OK if typed in to a 'cvs server'
connection (I used it on CVSROOT/config, directly to cvs.cvsnt.org).

UseUnchanged is for you're notifying file changes (for status, update,
etc.) and useless for an annotate.

The rannotate doesn't use a directory as it has no sandbox component,
so you can use a much simpler script. If you start sending
directories should start sending Entry lines too, otherwise the
directory is pretty meangless (it's context for storing the entries
normally).
eg. a 'normal' annotate (sent from a cvsnt client) is:
Valid-responses ok error Valid-requests Checked-in New-entry Checksum
Copy-file Updated Created Update-existing Merged Patched Rcs-diff Mode
Mod-time Removed Remove-entry Set-static-directory

valid-requests

annotate
and a 'normal' rannotate is:
Valid-responses ok error Valid-requests Checked-in New-entry Checksum
Copy-file Updated Created Update-existing Merged Patched Rcs-diff Mode
Mod-time Removed Remove-entry Set-static-directory
Clear-static-directory Set-sticky Clear-sticky Template Notified

rannotate
A lot of that is state information... everything between Case and
read-cvsrc2 is pretty optional. The rest is needed for the command.
Unless you're holding state information about the file it's best to
use rannotate.
