On the 13th of May, Miles imported just the current state and none of the history in the multi-tty arch repository into his arch repository. I can't make sense of all these nested messages. It looks like something was done wrong, and that history is missing from the CVS repository where it ought to be. But I cannot tell which parts of the history are missing, or where they are missing from. Can someone please post a self-contained full description of this problem? What is missing, and where should it have been? We could presumably fix this in git by importing the upstream multi-tty arch repository into git as a separate branch starting from the branch-off point of multi-tty, then make this the branch parent rather than Miles import. Something like that. What about fixing this in CVS?
