I am tracking current, I would have presumed that this would be sufficient to 
know what was going on...To be part of CVS-up as well would mean probably 
another 100-200 mails a night that I don't particularly use...

Thanks for the advice, I may look into cvs-up, but I think that current 
(seeing as that is what I am running) would have mentioned this a little 
more. Besides, didn't even know about cvs-up...
