Hi everyone,

I've been trying to get an older version of the FreeBSD source tree
to do some compares against a local tree, and I've had a hellofatime
trying to get the right version of these files - CVSWeb/cvs seems to
have some weird "bug" (or maybe it's supposed to work this way...)

Check out:

http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/Makefile

And click on download next to version 1.205 - the version that comes
up is indeed 1.205 I believe, but the tag is 1.204 - making recursive
diffs kinda a pain.

Btw: This also affects cvsup, not just cvsweb.

This version discrepency seems to go all the way up til 1.227 just
before the $Id$->$FreeBSD$ switch. I'm guessing it is related.

Anyone know if I can get the source with the correct version numbers
with some other method? Or has anyone else run in to this and found
a fix? I'm definitely open to the possibility that I am doing something
wrong. :-)

Thanks, 
- dpk
