 Authors of GNU CVS
 
-Um, yeah.  There were lots of 'em.  See the "Credits" section of the
-README file and the individual ChangeLog files for more.
+The conflict-resolution algorithms and much of the administrative file
+definitions of CVS were based on the original package written by Dick Grune
+at Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam <dick@cs.vu.nl>, and posted to
+comp.sources.unix in the volume 6 release sometime in 1986.  This original
+version was a collection of shell scripts.  I am thankful that Dick made
+his work available.
+
+Brian Berliner from Prisma, Inc. (now at Sun Microsystems, Inc.)
+<berliner@sun.com> converted the original CVS shell scripts into reasonably
+fast C and added many, many features to support software release control
+functions.  See the manual page in the "man" directory.  A copy of the
+USENIX article presented at the Winter 1990 USENIX Conference, Washington
+D.C., is included in the "doc" directory.
+
+Jeff Polk from BSDI <polk@bsdi.com> converted the CVS 1.2
+sources into much more readable and maintainable C code.  He also added a
+whole lot of functionality and modularity to the code in the process.
+See the bottom of the NEWS file (from about 1992).
+
+david d `zoo' zuhn <zoo@armadillo.com> contributed the working base code
+for CVS 1.4 Alpha.  His work carries on from work done by K. Richard Pixley
+and others at Cygnus Support.  The CVS 1.4 upgrade is due in large part to
+Zoo's efforts.
+
+David G. Grubbs <dgg@odi.com> contributed the CVS "history" and "release"
+commands.  As well as the ever-so-useful "-n" option of CVS which tells CVS
+to show what it would do, without actually doing it.  He also contributed
+support for the .cvsignore file.
+
+The Free Software Foundation (GNU) contributed most of the portability
+framework that CVS now uses.  This can be found in the "configure" script,
+the Makefile's, and basically most of the "lib" directory.
+
+K. Richard Pixley, Cygnus Support <rich@cygnus.com> contributed many bug
+fixes/enhancement as well as completing early reviews of the CVS 1.3 manual
+pages.
+
+Roland Pesch, then of Cygnus Support <roland@wrs.com> contributed
+brand new cvs(1) and cvs(5) manual pages.  Thanks to him for saving us
+from poor use of our language!
+
+Paul Sander, HaL Computer Systems, Inc. <paul@hal.com> wrote and
+contributed the code in lib/sighandle.c.  I added support for POSIX, BSD,
+and non-POSIX/non-BSD systems.
+
+Jim Kingdon and others at Cygnus Support <info@cygnus.com> wrote the
+remote repository access code.
+
+Larry Jones and Derek Price <derek@ximbiot.com> have been maintaining and
+enhancing CVS for some years.  Mark D. Baushke <mdb@cvshome.org> came on in
+2003.
+
+There have been many, many contributions not listed here.  Consult the
+individual ChangeLog files in each directory for a more complete idea.
+
+In addition to the above contributors, the following Beta testers
+deserve special mention for their support.  This is only a partial
+list; if you have helped in this way and would like to be listed, let
+bug-cvs know (as described in the Cederqvist manual).
