I am trying to switch from cvsuping the -stable and -current releases to
cvsuping the CVS repository. So far so good?

Now I've gone on to extract the -stable release using the command:
	cvs -Q checkout -r RELENG_2_1_7_RELEASE -d src-temp world

When I then do a diff between the -stable directory and the directory I've
created under src-temp I find several minor changes between the files in the
two directory hierarchies.

1) My question is how to extract the -stable release from the CVS repository?

2) Also how do I know which tags exist in a repository? Right now I just
examine a Makefile and take a look at the tags that exist in it. Is there a
better way?
