	That would be my recommendation too. Things aren't always consistent between CVS and SVN because they're two separate systems, but it should be more consistent with 9.0.0+ (or at least it appeared to have been that way because now releng is using SVN primarily for release from what I saw and not CVS, which was the way things were in the past).
