49 I'm committing to cvs now and it *should* do it. Make sure emerge rsync
50 updates the gv ebuild, I don't know how much time it may take for the new
51 version to be available via rsync.

53 In case even this fails, I think there's a slightly newer version of gv and
54 I'm going to make an ebuild for that now.
