+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.
+
+cvsps is needed by git-cvsimport (from Slackware's native git package)
