concerns about branch management of freetds 0.91

Hi folks,

After a bit of delay, I'm looking at packaging up the freetds 0.91 release
for inclusion in Debian and Ubuntu.  However, since I'm now entirely using a
distributed VCS workflow for all my packages (bzr), I'm running into a snag
because as far as I can see, there is no CVS tag for what was actually
released as 0.91.  The closest seems to be Branch-0_91, but there is still a
delta relative to what's actually in the tarball (see attached).

Would it be possible to update the release process so that there's an
explicit tag for each tarball that's published?

There are also a large number of files present in CVS repository that are
not included in the tarball; I guess this is just an oversight in the 'make
dist' target.  I'm happy to fix this up.

(Then there are also the unittest directories, which seem to have no
relationship between the CVS repo and what's in the release tarball?)

Also, what's the status of the migration from CVS to git?  I'll drop CVS in
a heartbeat given the opportunity, but I haven't seen any news about this
since August, and it looks like there are new commits still happening in CVS
(ones that have not been mirrored to https://github.com/brianb/FreeTDS.git)
and the website points only at the CVS tree.  If there's a consensus to
migrate from CVS to git, it would help me to know if this transition is
happening soon so I can base my bzr package repos on the git branches
instead of the CVS.

Thanks,
