The problem is that other folks need to synchronise their source trees
with my source trees. When I generate diffs between my source tree
and the cvs sources, it's good to have a well defined reference.
Make sense. I just put a cvs tag command in the snapshot script. See
if the tag is there tomorrow, after tonight's snapshot is made.
