Any particular reason that you're trying to recreate FreeBSD's CVS
repository layout, rather than just grabbing a copy of the repository?
I haven't thought much about this problem but it seems to me you're
winding up with tags in your reconstructed repository that are not the
same as the tags in the "real" repository, and this may be causing some
problems.

I could picture you wanting to do this if you were tragically low on
disk space but until you get some success at actually building a
release, you might be better off stucking to a more "normal" setup.

Good luck!

Bruce.
