+CVSps is a program for generating 'patchset' information from a CVS
+repository. A patchset in this case is defined as a set of changes made
+to a collection of files, and all committed at the same time (using a
+single 'cvs commit' command). This information is valuable to seeing the
+big picture of the evolution of a cvs project. While cvs tracks revision
+information, it is often difficult to see what changes were committed
+'atomically' to the repository.
