Please note that the tip of the 3.7.* branch is not coincident with the 
3.7.3 tag or tarball.  Some further changes were made on the branch 
after 3.7.3.

The same goes for all of our release branches.  They all received a 
couple more changes after the last release was made from them.  So none 
of the branch tips coincides to any released tarball.  Comparisons 
really would have to be made to cvs checkouts of the branches, instead.

That would be slightly wrong because 3.7.0 is not on the branch.  It's 
on the trunk.
