I'm glad someone asked this. Thanks for the explanation but could
you elaborate a bit please.
I've just started tracking -STABLE and the timestamp in my checkout
file translates to Tue Sep 28 23:13:34 BST 1999. This is the time
I started (or finished?) cvsup'ing. How can this be related to the
exact version of all the sources that were downloaded, especially
as I use a UK mirror and not the main site? I've seen people on
the lists use descriptions like "3.3-STABLE (19991003 snap)".
What I'm getting at is if I were to find something "broken" after
cvsup'ing how does the date in the checkout file help identify the
version of each (relevant) source file?
