James, why don't you put script into misc directory??
I have a lot of my script in there, to do all testing stuff, package
windows package with MingW and so on
Personally I stopped using cvs for FreeTDS more than a year ago! I
have a crazy script that do the commits to cvs from git. You can find
the git version of FreeTDS at
http://gitorious.org/freetds/freetds/commits/master.

Honestly I'd like to have git at least to do file rename instead of
having nasty things like this:
