Why should that happen?

If you have a hand-crafted CVS repository to resync, then you will run 
into much more trouble than just multiple cvs_info certs.

Thinking more about it, that won't even happen because you will end up 
with a different revision_id and thus you won't have problems with 
multiple certs on the same revision, but you will end up with multiple 
revisions for the 'same' CVS 'revision' (well, a pre-hand-crafting and a 
post-one).

I can't think of another case where cvsimport would be tempted to create 
multiple certs for the the same revision. What do I miss?
