As you well know, these go upstream in CVS as well.  So this is not
really a loss for people who want a familiar CVS-like setup.

After reading through all of it, I think it's not organized well for a
single reading.  I needed to read both manuals several times before it
started making sense.  Showing one option (--lightweight) and one
command (commit --local) is hardly worth sending people to wade
through the canonical docs, just to find that it, too, says that a
lightweight checkout is almost like CVS.

Anyway, that's my last post on this issue.  I hope my opinions on this
are clear enough.  I don't think I will use the CVS-like setup, but I
see no reason not to help those who will.
