You may create a macro "hlink" with two arguments and
which is rendered in two different ways depending on a style file.

We might create an option to suppress auxiliary information when
saving files. Of course, this is not a natural behavior for
new users, so it is not a reasonable default.

On the long run, I would like to stress that CVS itself is not a good tool
for many reasons. Most importantly, it is text-based, while TeXmacs
documents have much more structure. What we really need is a structured
kind of CVS.
