SUPERSEDES RECOMMEND 21.4 Grr. CVS and Mac OS X. The previous patch probably won't apply because CVS 1.10 doesn't properly set up the file paths except in the Index: line, which it ignores in favor of the --- line. Grr. Sorry, caught it in one file but not in the rest. Not needed in 21.5. I found one error in my backport of Ben's revision of the shy group support for 21.5. I don't know if this helps Andrey Slusar's issue; I'm still trying to figure out exactly how all this stuff works. Includes the (rather trivial) test that helped me find this bug. Sorry, Andrey, but would you try applying this patch to see if it fixes your bug? It's going to be some time before I can take a look at your full report.
