The error is actually that the label creation is pointing to TWO different
revisions. CVS seems to deal with this issue by ignoring the second
relationship of the "creation" label to revision.

There is also a few files that are both in Attic and the regular directory,
which is also not supposed to happen. Also, is it me or does CVS ignore
Attic files when you export a specific label?
