If people would like to see the logical `patch set' that made up a CVS
commit then cvsps may be useful, or, as others have said, use Tailor to
convert to a local repos. in your preferred format.

Bazaar, from Canonical -- the same people as behind Ubuntu, has been

on for the future.  I expect it will gain quite a large market share
over time.
