Uh oh.

'cvs ls' on CVSNT is always on the remote repository.  'cvs rls' is a
redundant idea. 

That sounds like 'cvs ls' on cvshome.org CVS is on the local sandbox
(duplication of the 'ls' command???)

That's not going to work with WinCVS or the CVSNT client (which
obviously assumes CVSNT semantics), and is going to confuse the hell
out the users as they're going to expect it to do the same thing.

cvs release on CVSNT is a complete rewrite so there wouldn't be a lot
of chance of it applying.
