Hi folks,

As I plough my way through the CVS log messages on my docs merge, I keep
seeing this log entry;

   1.30 Tue Jan 14 6:26:20 1997 UTC by jkh 
   Diffs to 1.29 

   Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$

   This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well 
   as (finally!) avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued 
   developers for so long.

   Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore.  This update would 
   have been insane otherwise.

This is then (almost always) immediately followed by;

   1.34 Sat Feb 22 12:58:27 1997 UTC by peter 
   Diffs to 1.33 

   Revert $FreeBSD$ back to $Id$

I've been wondering about this for a while. What's the story here?

If the answer is "Oops, we screwed up, we'd really not talk about it,
there's nothing to see here, move along quickly" feel free to let me
know by private mail rather than to the list.
