Ok but in that case the revisions and branches reported by cvs stat seem to be different than those in the web page. For example, cvs stat reports ghc-5-02-2 as revision 1.12.2.4 but the web page only has a revision 1.12. How do the web pages tie up with what you get from cvs checkout?

The CVS web interface shows all the revisions for me... http://cvs.haskell.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/fptools/hslibs/net/Attic/Socke tPrim.hsc They are in date order rather than the branch order you get from 'cvs log', though. Cheers, Simon
