I've already dealt with this in the latter fashion for gnome-vfs HEAD:

<http://cvs.gnome.org/bonsai/cvsquery.cgi?module=gnome-vfs&branch=HEAD&branc
htype=match&dir=gnome-vfs&file=&filetype=match&who=darin&whotype=match&sortb
y=Date&hours=&date=explicit&mindate=02%2F09%2F02+12%3A02&maxdate=02%2F09%2F0
2+12%3A04&cvsroot=%2Fcvs%2Fgnome>

But the discussion continued in the gnome-vfs list rather than here.
