Look at the annotated version of `src/sys/netinet/if_ether.c' around
line 557:

: 556 1.74  (alfred   06-Jan-01): static int log_arp_wrong_iface = 1;
: 557 1.81  (alfred   03-Sep-01): static int log_arp_movements = 1;
: 558 1.74  (alfred   06-Jan-01):

Then look at the log of revision 1.81 and the diff of 1.80 -> 1.81.

IMHO, It's difficult to track things like this by staring at CVS logs
through cvsweb.  I usually start with something like:

	$ cd /usr/src
	$ grep -rl arp_move .

and then look at the annotated versions of the files that match.
