Well, one evil thought which might help a bit... if somebody has the
commits ready so they can be done within a short timespam I could
temporarily stop cvsupd on repoman while the commits are done - that
way no users would ever get the temporary commit so no PORTEPOCH would
be needed.  Of course this would need to be coordinated, but I think
it could be done.

I need to poke the cvsup-master@ people to make sure it doesn't give
cvsup-master any problems, but I doubt it should be a problem.
