As a lurker on this list for many years now, and also developer of the
CVSps utility, I find it amusing to see this in my mailbox!

Of course my opinions are biased, but I think CVSps is great.  Not only do 
you get unique commit id's, but it understands tags and branches, lets you 
filter on files, authors, date ranges etc.

It's also really useful if you want to do a commit-by-commit merge from 
one branch to another.

It does not currently manage your actual commits, but only works after the 
fact (i.e. can't send the email for you etc.).

Anyway, if you have any questions about CVSps, or find any bugs (god 
forbid - 2.0rc1 has only one known bug, a daylight savings bug), let me 
know!
