There are a couple of weird-looking commits way back near the beginning
of the converted Postgres history:

commit 91f2ac21a1e085dfe81aae110cee2246a803f600 refs/tags/Release_2_0_0
Author: PostgreSQL Daemon <webmaster(at)postgresql(dot)org>
Date: Sat Aug 17 06:41:11 1996 +0000

This commit was manufactured by cvs2svn to create tag 'Release_2_0_0'.

Sprout from Release_1_0_3 1996-08-02 01:24:01 UTC PostgreSQL Daemon <webmaster(at)postgresql(dot)org> 'This commit was manufactured by cvs2svn to create branch 'Release_1_0_3'.'
Cherrypick from master 1996-08-17 06:41:10 UTC Marc G. Fournier <scrappy(at)hub(dot)org> 'changed missed err() change to err_out()':
src/test/regress/Makefile
src/Makefile.global
src/interfaces/libpq/fe-misc.c
... lots more files ...

commit a8b8a4c98c975a6e4e7f378168fc39b05831e09d refs/tags/Release_2_0
Author: PostgreSQL Daemon <webmaster(at)postgresql(dot)org>
Date: Wed Aug 14 16:44:52 1996 +0000

This commit was manufactured by cvs2svn to create tag 'Release_2_0'.

Sprout from Release_1_0_3 1996-08-02 01:24:01 UTC PostgreSQL Daemon <webmaster(at)postgresql(dot)org> 'This commit was manufactured by cvs2svn to create branch 'Release_1_0_3'.'
Cherrypick from master 1996-08-14 16:44:51 UTC Marc G. Fournier <scrappy(at)hub(dot)org> '|':
src/backend/storage/ipc.h
src/test/regress/Makefile
src/Makefile.global
src/interfaces/libpq/fe-misc.c
... lots more files ...

What is weird about them is that the referenced "sprout" commit doesn't
exist. Is this expected behavior?

regards, tom lane
