Re: [platform-vcm-dev] Adding/Refreshing CVS resources programmatically

What about SimpleAccessOperations? The only fact that it is optional renders
it pretty much useless for both repository providers and plugin writers.
IMHO having CVS supporting it would make a big difference, even if it was
still "optional".
