Re: CVS corruption/mistagging?

Done, and I got a plausible-looking mix of messages like
cvs rtag: Not removing branch tag `REL7_4_STABLE' from `/cvsroot/pgsql/src/tutorial/funcs_new.c,v'.
and a fresh checkout of REL7_4_STABLE now matches what I had locally.
So I think we walked away from that one.

TODO items:

* restrict, or at least log, cvs tag/rtag commands. Maybe report them
to pgsql-committers.

* I notice that the repository contains some files owned by
no-longer-existent accounts, eg 258 in contrib/btree_gist:

I suppose this is due to Magnus' cleanup of unused committers accounts.
That was a good thing, but for security's sake these files ought to be
chown'd to some existing committer's account.
