Hmmm. Yes, there are 6 {tag,branche}s for that file:

www-data@mirror:/home/data/CVSROOT/linux/mm$ head  -n 11 Makefile,v 
head    1.4;
access;
symbols
        jbglaw_0_13:1.4
        jbglaw_0_13_b:1.4.0.2
        v_0_12:1.4
        v_0_11:1.3
        v_0_10:1.2
        v_0_01:1.1;
locks; strict;
comment @# @;



"jbglaw_0_13_b" is a branch, everything else is a tag.

Do you know in which part of it? LXR's handler routines? Perl'S DBI
interface? Or in PostgreSQL's libpq?

Okay, I'll send it in PM shortly... Thank you so far!
