    As already pointed out, the following branches should be
    empty:

    ZE1: HEAD
    ZE2: PHP_4, PHP_4_3

    Encoding a version in the CVS module name does not work,
    because there is no provision to select a default branch
    (e.g. php4 really gave you a broken php5 checkout in the past).
