I believe we moved to using cvs export many years after 7.1. Before that, the
releases were made straight out of a cvs checkout. With cvs export it is of
course nearly impossible to create such a mess.

I sporadically tested the correspondence of tarball and tag for some other
older releases, and they seem OK. At least to the extent that corresponding
tags exist at all ... ;-)
