So, cvs thinks that ~1/3 of those dirs that 'linux_gateway' is a label,
and in the rest that it's a branch. Great. Does anyone have any
suggestions on how to remedy this, and how it might have happend in the
first place? I'm the one who made the branch in the first place, and i
definetely used 'cvs tag -b linux_gateway' on all of the above.
