I seem to remember there was at least one case where no patch was distributed because it was just too large. Could have been between 19.22 and 19.23. For those revs that you just can't recover, you may want to look at the CVS repository if you want to try and re-generate the tar file. I've done something similar a few times to generate missing tags such as EMACS_19_34. Stefan
