let you have my copy, which reliably reproduces the error, so we

If it's not as recent as this: http://ww2.fs.ei.tum.de/~corecode/hg/fromcvs/log/132 we might want to bring in (or at least review) what's been committed
since we grabbed our copy.  Some of the fixes mentioned sound like
they might possibly be related.

OK, there is good news on this front. When last I looked this repo was giving errors, so I worked from the copy of the code I already had. (So thanks to Kevin for prodding me to check again.) With the latest fromcvs and rcsparse packages downloaded from this site I can now make and run the 7.4 and 8.1 branches from the imported repository (I haven't checked other branches yet.)

So we need to look at how hard it would be to upgrade the scripts on git.postgresql.org, and if by doing so we can fix its versions of the back branches. It would also be a good idea to have a script that regularly checks out the important branches from git and checks that they are identical to what is in CVS. That might help to increase Tom's confidence level.

cheers
