#3 480 Barrie Slaymaker 0.06 Wed Dec 20 23:19:15 EST 2000
   - bin/vcp: Added --versions, which loads all modules and checks them
     for a $VERSION and print the results out.  This should help with
     diagnosing out-of-sync modules.
   - Added $VERSION vars to a few modules :-).  Forgot to increment any
     $VERSION strings.
   - VCP::Dest::cvs: The directory "deeply" was not being `cvs add`ed on
     paths like "a/deeply/nested/file", assuming "deeply" had no files
     in it.
   - VCP::Dest::revml: fixed a bug that was causing files with a lot of
     linefeeds to be emitted in base64 instead of deltaed.  This means
     most text files.
   - Various minor cleanups of diagnostics and error messages, including
     exposing "Can't locate Foo.pm" when a VCP::Source or VCP::Dest
     module depends on a module that's not installed, as reported by
     Jeff Anton.
#2 468 Barrie Slaymaker - VCP::Dest::p4 now does change number aggregation based on the
  comment field changing or whenever a new revision of a file with
  unsubmitted changes shows up on the input stream.  Since revisions of
  files are normally sorted in time order, this should work in a number
  of cases.  I'm sure we'll need to generalize it, perhaps with a time
  thresholding function.
- t/90cvs.t now tests cvs->p4 replication.
- VCP::Dest::p4 now doesn't try to `p4 submit` when no changes are
  pending.
- VCP::Rev now prevents the same label from being applied twice to
  a revision.  This was occuring because the "r_1"-style label that
  gets added to a target revision by VCP::Dest::p4 could duplicate
  a label "r_1" that happened to already be on a revision.
- Added t/00rev.t, the beginnings of a test suite for VCP::Rev.
- Tweaked bin/gentrevml to comment revisions with their change number
  instead of using a unique comment for every revision for non-p4
  t/test-*-in-0.revml files.  This was necessary to test cvs->p4
  functionality.
