Understand the 'bets are off..' part, but thought you meant the problem came about in that a true HEAD tag would draw 8-CURRENT, not latest 7_<whatever>. ..At least with the supfile used here of: *default tag=. *default-host=cvsup.jp.freebd.org *default release=cvs *default delete use-rel-suffic It so seems....
