The purpose of this hack is to distinguish between two } different source trees which are extracted using exactly the same } (head of a branch) tag, but at different times. } } We should also be using a CVS/RCS macro to tell us what tag we used for } the extraction.

If you are extracting at the head of a branch, we've already got the branch tag info, so we just need to set the date macro to the time of the extraction.help
