Yeah, well, that's the rub. Since they predate the stuff in CVS, it is
a bit hard to decide...
But they would be most like the original import into cvs, which was I
think tagged as "releng_2" (lowercase, not a typo). So I guess it would
be best to branch from there, no?
This is where planning ahead would have been a good thing ;)

"TAD (Technology Attachment Disorder) is an unshakable, impractical devotion
to a brand, platform, product line, or programming language. It's relatively
harmless among the rank and file, but when management is afflicted the damage
can be measured in dollars. It's also contagious -- someone with sufficient
political clout can infect an entire organization."
