Blah. Remind me never to coordinate a release date on security stuff
with the CVS people again. Once again people are lumping our issue
together with the CVS issue simply because it was fixed/released on the
same day.

CVS belongs in the top 20. But we sure don't. As much as we'd like to
think Subversion has that type of market share, I just don't believe
that it's true.

So I can only conclude that we're included due to the timing and
publicity that the CVS issue got. If we'd released our fix a couple
days earlier or a couple days later, I bet we wouldn't even be on the
list.
