mergemaster hates this, as the original poster discovered.
For this and other reasons, we considered this a showstopper
and rebuilt the release; when we did, we also needed to
modify one file and slide its CVS tag.

In confirmation, I updated from source on Apr 4 ~2pm EST and haven't
seen any $FreeBSD$ ids in /etc/...
==========
I noticed when I built release 4.8 from source (using the RELENG_4_8
tag) that I had many files in src/etc (and many other parts of src)
with $FreeBSD$ ids. After reading this thread, I thought maybe there
was bad timing with my cvsup, so I cvsupped again and checked just
before sending this message. On my system, in both the RELENG_4_8
and RELENG_4_8_0_RELEASE tags, many of the files have the bad ids.
Do I need to blow away my cvsupped src tree and bring it down again
from scratch?
