The merge based on date is a one-time thing for me.  The reason for it
is that I started my Arch mirror of ERC's CVS HEAD and 5.0 release at
2005-01-19.

To obtain a list of the changes that exist in CVS HEAD and not in 5.0,
I do something like the following.

cd erc-arch-5.0

tla missing erc--cvs-head--0

Any changes made to CVS HEAD before 2005-01-19 would not show up on my
list, so I wanted to make sure they weren't forgotten.  Also, I
*really* wanted to get the active-buffer related changes in, which is
what most of those changes were :^) .

Please do continue to use the release branch :^) .  I'll try to
behave.
