It gave me the log all the way up to the 1.64 revision with the REL7_3_STABLE
label assigned to revision 1.64.0.2
Revision 1.64 apparently backing out my patch which made 1.63.
I had a brain wave and did the cvs log command which was what lead me to try
specifying revisions. As I say it looks like a lack of knowledge about how cvs
works for these things. I always thought it worked like RCS and gave a diff
against the latest checked in but obviously not.
BTW, I've found Neil Conway's patch for this file, email dated 25th Sept., I
can forward it or apply it and include the changes along with whatever I do for
my next submission, which ever you'd prefer. I'd suggest it's easy to let me
apply and submit it due to overlaps.
