Tags for the MT tagged text response
====================================

   The `MT' response, as described in Note: Responses, offers a way
for the server to send tagged text to the client.  This section
describes specific tags.  The intention is to update this section as
servers add new tags.

   In the following descriptions, `text' and `newline' tags are
omitted.  Such tags contain information which is intended for users (or
to be discarded), and are subject to change at the whim of the server.
To avoid being vulnerable to such whim, clients should look for the tags
listed here, not `text', `newline', or other tags.

   The following tag means to indicate to the user that a file has been
updated.  It is more or less redundant with the `Created' and
`Update-existing' responses, but we don't try to specify here whether
it occurs in exactly the same circumstances as `Created' and
`Update-existing'.  The NAME is the pathname of the file being updated
relative to the directory in which the command is occurring (that is,
the last `Directory' request which is sent before the command).

     MT +updated
     MT fname NAME
     MT -updated

   The `importmergecmd' tag is used when doing an import which has
conflicts.  The client can use it to report how to merge in the newly
imported changes.  The COUNT is the number of conflicts.  The newly
imported changes can be merged by running the following command:
     cvs checkout -j TAG1 -j TAG2 REPOSITORY

     MT +importmergecmd
     MT conflicts COUNT
     MT mergetag1 TAG1
     MT mergetag2 TAG2
     MT repository REPOSITORY
     MT -importmergecmd
