When commiting something to cvs you are taken to $EDITOR to enter a commit
message, you are shown a number of lines that begin with "CVS:". It's always
annoyed me that these lines start on the first line. I've noticed than in some
other ditros (e.g. suse) you are given a blank line before the "CVS:" lines.
I've attached a patch to fix this and a revised ebuild that uses this patch.

I don't want to change the default.  Just learn about how to use the rcsinfo-file in CVSROOT.
