When looking at a file, say pd/src/s_file.c, then there are be dd- 
specific commits in the history, that's what I mean.  As for the pd- 
cvs mailing list, I can live with seeing the dd commit messages  
there. ;)

Many repositories have scripted commit policies that check all sorts  
of things before allowing a commit, things like it needs to compile,  
it needs not use deprecate libraries, etc. etc.
