When 6.0 is branched and moves to RC, it shows

Revision 1.69.2.8 / (download) - annotate - [select for diffs], Sun
Oct 9 16:59:34 2005 UTC (5 months, 4 weeks ago) by scottl
Branch: RELENG_6
CVS Tags: RELENG_6_0_BP
Branch point for: RELENG_6_0

When 6.1 moves to RC, it shows

Revision 1.69.2.11 / (download) - annotate - [select for diffs], Sat
Apr 8 14:42:23 2006 UTC (9 hours, 9 minutes ago) by scottl
Branch: RELENG_6
CVS Tags: RELENG_6_1_BP, RELENG_6_1

I expected to see something like the case for 6.0. I didn't see a
branch point for: RELENG_6_1 here. Did I miss something
or cvsweb shows the wrong information?

Hope we can see 6.1 RELEASE soon :-)
