>Description:
There is a wrong explanation for supfile to get the whole CVS
repository via CVSup in the section `How do I make my own custom 
release?' of FAQ.
It is mentioned like this:
  To get this you can use CVSUP but your tag value, if any, should be `.'
                                         ~~~~~~~~~          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If `tag=.' is specified in supfile, what to be obtained is 
`HEAD brach stuff', not RCS files.
So, neither a "tag=" field nor a "date=" field should be specified in
this case according to doc/handbook/cvsup.sgml.
