Something I have been worrying about. If I get the latest cvs repository
in this new scheme and I then do a 'cvs co -D"yesterday" src' do I get
the date/number of yesterday or do I still get the one that was generated
at the last cvs commit? It would seem wrong to me if I get the latest one
if I check out something not current, ie RELENG_2_2_5_RELEASE, it should
be the "version number" that goes with that date/tag.

Just my R0.02.
