NetBSD CVS repository is broken.

For example, see

  ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-cvs/main/basesrc/usr.sbin/sendmail/src/Attic/Makefile.DGUX,v

  :
1.1
date	94.01.29.01.32.08;	author glass;	state Exp;
  :

State is NOT dead. This file seems to be available on MAIN branch.
But, this should not be available on MAIN branch, right?

When I did

Result is

File Not Found.
(? cvs command didn't search in Attic directory ?)

But I did cvs with '-D DATE' or '-r TAG' (-r HEAD, of course)

I got these files.

I want to get specific {revision,branch,date} sources correctly.
Please fix it...
