"Works" as in "applies cleanly" or "applies cleanly and passes".
Actually, I expect both to be true on current crew.

Correct.  And *that* patch is in crew:

$ hg log -k1577
changeset:   7870:6c3b8132078e
user:        Greg Ward <greg-hg at gerg.ca>
date:        Sat Mar 28 12:24:53 2009 -0400
summary:     issue1577: fix broken test by assuming less about CVS output.

So the above patch (reproduce issue1578) should be fine to go in.
Nothing is blocking it apart from code review.

Thanks!
