Obsolete protocol elements
==========================

   This section briefly describes protocol elements which are obsolete.
There is no attempt to document them in full detail.

   There was a `Repository' request which was like `Directory' except
it only provided REPOSITORY, and the local directory was assumed to be
similarly named.

   If the `UseUnchanged' request was not sent, there was a `Lost'
request which was sent to indicate that a file did not exist in the
working directory, and the meaning of sending `Entries' without `Lost'
or `Modified' was different.  All current clients (CVS 1.5 and later)
will send `UseUnchanged' if it is supported.
