As far as I can tell, this isn't really a problem with cvsweb, but more
of a problem with the repository itself.  The issue comes when a commit
is made and the log message includes the magic string that CVS uses
internally to track different revisions.  The patch proposed in that PR
appears to be more of a hack than a fix.

It's the same reason that (for example)
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/etc/rc.d/ntpd lists a revision
1.335 even though the most recent commit was version 1.18.

On the upside, it doesn't appear that these bogus commits have ended up
replicated in the SVN repository.
