I've no idea what I did when I tagged those trees, but according
to a google search, cvsps does that when it find patchsets which
are chronologically (and thus by patchset id) earlier than the tag,
but are tagwise after.  Spooky.

It's probably tags that were moved around with "cvs tag -F footag".
When using cvs in with a dovetail strategy, people tend to merge
BRANCH->HEAD and use a floating tag to mark how far it's been merged
in.

I am somewhat worried about cvsps getting confused by these floating
tags. Any help in teaching cvsps to ignore tags is welcome ;)
