No, revision 1.12 does not always follow 1.11, if I would have been
working in a release branch this could have been version 1.11.3.1
(First patch of 3rd branch of this file).

There is a direct 1:1 mapping from this message to source tree 
location.  Simply drop /home/ncvs.  I think this is a minor nit
that we can live with.

I am aware of that, I don't want to go $Id$ the whole tree right
now or in the near future.  I would like to see the $FreeBSD$ thing
reinacted (possible as a standard rcs add on option for site specific
keywords that can be configed via a file instead of source patches,
as it seems XFree, NetBSD and a few other folks do this).

It was sad that it was disabled, but I was not able to stop this
when it happened as I was on the road.  It was disabled because of
one small place that cvs did not get patched to handle it (cvs diff).
