That is the misconfiguration.  You are supposed to use the FreeBSD
version of CVS (or a compatible one) with a correct CVSROOT, or just
CVSup.  Otherwise $FreeBSD$ tags are not properly expanded and other
problems could occur, like, well, patch conflicts.

You know, it is not good manners to modify a diff by hand.  Suppose if
the RCS tag line were part of a big chunk.  I could of course apply
the diff partly and then regenerate a patch, but note that that kinds
of irrelevant tasks can be too much to ask of a maintainer.
