>Description:
CVSup, by default, does not expand the $NetBSD$ keyword. Hence
files tracked by CVSup have off-by-one revisions in $NetBSD$.
(I know that NetBSD is reluctant to imply that CVSup is supported,
but this is a small, quick fix that benefits many people.)
>How-To-Repeat:
Grab NetBSD source files from any of the CVSup mirrors listed on
the mirrors page (except the one in Norway, which has fixed this
problem locally).
>Fix:
In the CVSROOT directory (i.e. the CVSROOT directory that is
propagated to mirror sites), add a file named "options" with the
following contents:
tag=NetBSD=Id
Henceforth CVSup mirrors will expand the $NetBSD$ keyword properly.
CVSup clients may have to re-checkout their sources to see the
corrected keyword.
