This has nothing to do with liking or disliking threads.

You do not know enough about CVSup (as you have already shown) to be able
to determine whether doing things differently is easy or not, so please
stop trying to guess.  The small description I pointed you at is not enough
material to know.  Maybe you're going to think I'm an ass for being harsh,
but I wish you'd stop now.  I know what a finite state machine is.  The only
thing you are doing right now is being insulting with me.
