CVS seems fine, no errors in logs, no CVS lock files persist, "sudo -u
rancid cvs update -PdA" displays nothing of interest. Logs show CVS
generating a new revision.

Suppose my hardware is display changing output. How do I tell rancid to
ignore "show inventory raw" with respect to the nightly email or diff?
