That happened because when I recovered from the binutils->gdb pollution, I removed the messed up gdb.git repository and re-sync'd it from a guaranteed-clean mirror already on sourceware.org. Normally that works fine. However, in this case, the mirror was too clean, and lacked the fix-up I'd pushed to accommodate the cvs-renaming problem with windows-termcap.c. I wish I'd pushed it to the staging mirror rather than to the public one. If I'd done that, there would probably be no problem now. If someone has a clean, up-to-date repo from Friday, into which they haven't pulled anything from this weekend, no local changes and no private branches, please upload the tar/compressed .git/ directory to some place accessible (e.g., to dl.free.fr) and send me the resulting link.
