Thanks for making this clear. I now disabled the corresponding check
in ViewVC (for whom it may concern: lib/vclib/bincvs/__init__.py,
lines 476 and 477) and will report this to the ViewVC project.

Please allow me two more questions about this:

1. Does this also count for the MAIN branch or is an alias for MAIN
   not possible?

2. Is there somebody with experience on how ViewVC and CvsGraph (and
   maybe other tools accessing the RCS-files) will handle this?

I'll have to try this out if I find the time...
