How about leaving -z3 as is and adding a notice about potential hangs in red letters?
Please don't. No more big and/or red warnings all over the place. We should suggest something that works. People who are concerned about compression know what to do. We can add something like so:
"If you work over a slow link, you may want to compress the traffic with -z3. However, there are known bugs in CVS with this compressed communication mode, make sure you use cvs version 1.11.5 or later."
So yeah, the patch is good, because if people don't bother to read the text, they get something that works. Correctness before speed.
