Yeah, but CVS has tags for the alphas and betas. Those are missing from the GIT mirror as the CVS-to-GIT converter
apparentlyignores tags completely :-(. Since there are no branches for the betas, this leaves the GIT repository
withoutany trace that beta1 exists at all...
So there is nothing wrong with the CVS, but on the GIT side there is certainly room for improvement.
