If you ever did send that as a patch, it was seperate from your others 
and I ignored it.  I do remember you commenting on having a patch.

From your sanity.sh diff:

> "${testcvs} rdiff -s -r tag2 -r tag4 abc" \
> 'File abc/file1.txt is removed; previous revision 1.2 not included in 
> release tag tag4


This is too confusing.  1.2 is the "tag2 revision", maybe, but 
"previous" just dangles, especially when the possibilities include a tag 
attached to the same revision as tag2, attached to another revision, 
attached to a dead revision, and not attached to any revision.

What would people think if I left out the reiteration of tag4 and used 
something to the effect of:

   `File abc/file1.txt is removed; tag2 revision 1.2'
