No, there's a mistake in the "OpenMotif.def" file that "pkgsrc" installs,
all right..., but if you didn't want to reinstall openmotif, you could
just as well just fix the installed file.

The "-r" option sets the tag for the "cvs update", and stores it in
that file. (You shouldn't manipulate the files in the CVS directories
directly.) "-rHEAD" is valid for "cvs diff" or "cvs rdiff", but to
"cvs update" to the trunk, you would normally use "-A", instead, which
means "clear all tags".

"-rHEAD" is just the name given to the trunk, when the syntax demands
a tag (such as for "rdiff"). The terms "CVS trunk", "CVS HEAD", and
"current" are essentially interchangable.
