I have not kept up with PCL-CVS, but when I started using CVS with
Emacs about 5 years ago, PCL-CVS was too slow on my machine; the lisp
processing took as long as the CVS processing. Also, there did not
appear to be a mode that did exactly what I wanted; I wanted it to
show me a list of all the files that needed some attention, either
update or merge or delete or whatever.

So I wrote sal-cvs. It is simpler, and therefore faster, than PCL-CVS.
It does everything I need for CVS.

I should read the info for pcl-cvs, and try it on my current machine.
When I get a Round Tuit :).
