This doesn't have to be the result of splitting. The files may be
'repo-copied' by one of the CVS admins, creating let's say 3 files:
gnus.texi
gnus-news.texi
gnus-email.texi
These files can then be 'trimmed' with a normal commit, and the trimmed
text becomes a changeset of its own. This way 'cvs annotate' will still
show useful information.
