[TxMt] How Long Must We Wait for CVS Support?

[Jeffrey Robert Spies]

I'm really quite disappointed in how the list has responded to Court  
K.'s feature request.  He explained what he was looking for and why  
it would be valuable, and even offered a monetary bonus for someone  
to work on it (plus assistance with UI design, if I remember  
correctly).  If you don't want to help out w/ CVS support, why is it  
necessary to bash CVS or this guy for doing what everyone else does  
when they would like to see a feature added to TextMate?  It just  
doesn't seem very constructive, but maybe I'm confused as to what  
this list is for other than praising Allan and evidently promoting  
Subversion.
