Well, samba was upgraded from 1.9.18p10 to 2.0.0 at Mon Jan 18 2:34:03
1999 UTC, so to checkout 1.9.18p10,

$ cvs co -D "Mon Jan 18 1:34:03 1999 UTC" samba
$

Actually, if you think about it a little, you'll notice that it
becomes _harder_ to checkout a specific version of a port if the whole
port is stored inside a single shar archive.

[Consider: port import, port upgrade, port bugfix to patch-ac --
 to checkout the original version of the port imported and include
 the bugfix to patch-ac is much harder if it's all shar'd up].
