If we want to keep snapshots going, I guess we need to update the
three CVS commands in /home/ian/bin/binutils-cvs-snapshot:

    cvs -d /cvs/src -Q co -P binutils
    cvs -d /cvs/src -Q co -P -r $tagname binutils
    cvs -Q tag -R -F binutils_latest_snapshot .

Anybody want to send me the git equivalents?

Or we could just turn off the snapshots.
