It appears that the consensus is with this one. Any further comment?

MichaelC expressed concern over being able to differentiate between a
CVS gdb-20010229 and a snapshot gdb-20010229.  Yes, they can differ
significantly.

That would mean that something like:

	$ gdb
	GNU gdb 4.17

will become

	$ gdb
	GNU gdb 20010229 (cvs)
and	GNU gdb 5.0.90-20010229 (snap)

or	GNU gdb 20010229-cvs
and	GNU gdb 5.0.90-20010229

assuming no further comment, I'm going to toss a coin and then choose
the second one :-)
