Nope.  The CVS maintainers took it upon themselves to change the format 
and semantics of this string and decided to annoy us with warning 
messages about the old (now apparantly deprecated) format.

Given that conversion is not straightforward, I'm not personally inclined 
to try and fix it; it appears to work fine, albiet with this annoying 
message.  The correct fix, from my perspective, is to eliminate the 
messages from CVS and leave existing repositories alone.
