CVS tag confusion

        XRENDER-0_8_4-RELEASE           (revision: 1.18)
        XRENDER-0_8_3-RELEASE           (revision: 1.18)
        fd-0-1                          (revision: 1.18)
        xrender-0_8_3                   (revision: 1.17)
        xrender-0_8_2                   (revision: 1.16)
        xrender-0_8_1                   (revision: 1.16)

Keith's original xrender 0.8.3 release, which is what we ship in 
Fedora Core and all current XFree86 4.3.0 erratum right now, was 
the original xrender-0.8.3 release that was on fontconfig.org.  

This seems to have been snapshotted from the xrender-0_8_3 CVS 
tag.  However, while trying to debug a problem, I've found out 
that this is supposedly fixed in CVS after 0.8.3 was shipped, in 
revision 1.18 of the Xrender.c file.  When I did a cvs rdiff of 
the file however between tag XRENDER-0_8_3-RELEASE and 
XRENDER-0_8_4-RELEASE, of course you can see from the above, that 
there was no change.  ;o)

There seems to be some CVS tag naming inconsistency going on, or 
else some confusion on my part as to the official scheme being 
used, and the difference between things like xrender-0_8_3 and 
XRENDER-0_8_3-RELEASE.

I've looked on the wiki a bit, and in the docs and do not seem to 
see anything that explains the convention or CVS commit policies.

I would gladly write up a CVS policy document and document the 
tagging and branching policy, etc. if someone hasn't already done 
so and I'm missing it.  If none exists already, could someone 
please clue me in.   ;o)
