Ugh.  There was a change in genxref recently that tidied up a great
deal, but unfortunately left 'allversions' utterly broken, despite the
log comment that it made allversions work.  That "fix" assumed that
versions are uniform throughout the tree.  That is usually not the
case in a CVS tree, of course.  I don't know what, if anything, was
wrong with allversions in the old code for plaintext files.

The previous version (1.18) of genxref did this in a more convoluted
and less obvious, but also less broken way (for CVS trees).  Could you
try --allversions with that version of genxref?  It's available from
<http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/~checkout~/lxr/lxr/genxref?rev=1.18&content-type=text/plain>,
and I think thats the same version as in the old ping CVS tree.

This is an unrelated, but nevertheless irritating bug.

weird.

Ok.  Revert that change, then.  If the old version of genxref works
with allversions, could you try it with just your specific version?
If that does not work, we'll have to do some more debugging of
CVS.pm.

And I don't think genxref explains why you're having trouble
browsing, so that must be a separate issue.

Why not? :) With a bit of goodwill, it reads "I think, therefore
everything is in flux".  In norwegian, "everything is in flux" is also
an expression of confusion, which is my usual state of mind when I'm
thinking.  Besides, it's a bit confusing mixing latin and greek,
Descartes an Heraklit.

I must admit it's not mine, it's originally reputed to be the answer
of a poor, confused student on a philosophy exam.  But I think it's
funny none the less. :)
