Ya, I'll go with that (considering 7.1 was back in 2001 ... ) ... but, from the
way Peter describes it (taging partially checked out code), I'm not 100% how
its possible to 'foul up' ... a tag operation is:
cvs -q update -APd .
cvs -q tag REL7_1 .
unless its a sub-tagging, which would have:
cvs -q update -rREL7_1_STABLE -Pd .
cvs -q tag REL7_1_1 .
And since I don't do the update until things are "quiet" (generally when Tom
has finished his last commit before release), I'm not sure how I could have
gotten a 'partial checkout' ...

Agreed ... but, stupid question here ... if our tags are wrong in CVS, are the
7.1.x releases themselves wrong too? When I do a release tarball, I run:
cvs -q export -rREL7_1_1 pgsql
so, if the tags are wrong, then all of those releases are wrong too, since they
are based on the tag ...
