It seems to be a widespread disease here :)

Andre,
        I just checked a fe CVS resources on line. It is possible to
run a program upon commit and/or update: however, the programs are
run only after the cvs operation succesfully terminates---one can't
pipe the cvs incoming/outgoing data through them :(

Ouch. This is a strange one: shuffling around whitespace shouldn't
break C++ code...  What exactly happens to the source?
