Hmmm, if I see things correctly, tailor has problems whenever it encouters a 
CVS file in "state: dead", i.e. when a file was removed in its past. If the 
CVS repo contains such a file, one gets only those changesets which are 
younger than that removal.

I've played around a bit with a local copy of the hugs98 repo, and whenever 
I've removed such file from the repo itself, tailor stopped at the next dead 
file, and so on, and so on...

Is there a trick I'm not aware of? Having dead (and perhaps resurrected) files 
in a CVS repo is not *that* uncommon. :-(

Cheers,
