Using CVS, failure to specify a tag would get you HEAD.

Using SVN, failure to specify a branch will get you head.

This may help.  As noted previously, I have a local private mirror of
the FreeBSD SVN src repository located in /svn/freebsd/src/base; so:

g1-227(9.1-P)[1] svn ls file:///svn/freebsd/src/base

Does that help?

As shown above, they are there.
