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 ... ;-)
