I suppose it could, if we wanted to support limiting the generated 
patches to a subset of files. That might be not very obvious behavior, 
though. I don't know.

BTW, does vc-print-root-log really not work with CVS? Perhaps it will be 
a good idea to define the 'root' action there (which will recursively 
check the parent directory and see whether it still contains the "CVS" 
dir). As long as CVS knows how to recursively diff the directory tree, I 
suppose. And show history for it whole.
