CvsShell 0.5.1 released! 

http://cvsshell.sourceforge.net

CvsShell is a console-based cvs frontend. It provides convenient access
to the cvs commands through a shell-like user interface.

CvsShell is written in python and runs on every platform for which cvs
and python are available.


Features:

* Convenient access to the following csv commands: add, checkout,
  commit, remove, diff, log, login, logout, status, update.
  
* CvsShell prompts you for all arguments needed for executing a
  command.

* Listing of all files and their status.

* Operations on files in the listing can be executed quickly, because
  those files can be accessed using a numerical ID instead of a
  (typically long) pathname.

* Aliases for different cvsroots.

* Shortcuts for cvs commands: 

  - Commit is automatically executed after an add or delete command
    (if you want to).

  - The login command is executed automatically when needed.

  - Renaming files with cvs is lenghty: you have the rename the file
    in the local filesystem, remove the old file, add the new file and
    commit your changes. With CvsShell, this is done with a single
    command.

  - The steps to replace a file with an older revision are executed
    using a single command.

* auto-completion for commands
