Thanks - is that link mentioned publicly anywhere? It might be the
handiest place to find the history of just about every spec file known
to man.
The relevant point about branches here is that CVS doesn't version
directories. Like rcs, all the history is contained in each file
separately, which has both good and bad side effects.
