I don't think this needs to be done. When unsharing the amiga files on the ST, everything
with foo.c,v worked well. But we should consider what is to be done with long suffixes, i.e.
foo.sh,v becomes foo.sh, , and what becomes of foo.bar,v ???

Anyway, it's good to hear about your efforts.

Michael
