Where did you get these source files? Just checked the ones on the mirrors, they do not have such a tag on them. I'll check the CDs..um...not tonight. I would much prefer using the -A option over -rHEAD, as your goal is to clear and ignore any release tags. > frozen > to that point at the time of releasing.

This would wrongly imply that "This tar file was used to build these snapshots", and that would be wrong. And...if you want to download the entire -current source tree, just do it with cvs(1). > Should this be mentioned in the documentation or is it just me? 5.1, under "Snapshots" kinda covers this, I think.
