Yes.  Be glad you didn't have to endure the separate
CVS repositories before I merged them into one :-)
Interesting factoid, initially, I chose the name "fetish" for
test releases (combining first first two letters from each
of FIleutils, TExtutils, Shellutils), but found that too many
search engines and mail-processing tools objected to that
word, and blocked or dropped mail/URLs.
