I'd say only if you can attach a tested patch. I think the difference
is that Subversion modifies the file from native code and then the
notification is sent through Eclipse by us. When CVS does it, it is
likely using Eclipse API's for all modifications and Eclipse probably
handles it more gracefully.
This is one where I'd rather not make a change unless we have good
reason to know it is the right change. Especially since we do not
have a regression test suite to rely on.
