The proper repo to use is xlog2.  I think that Greg is the first person in 7 years to attempt to use the repo directly, although I develop directly from those files.  Since it takes some effort to setup one's environment to handle using the repo directly, I've recommended to Greg that he consume only the released tar files, and report bugs based on whatever is found there.

For background, I reported a bug, and the ticket was updated with what can be summarized as "fixed - plase test".   So I went to check out the sources.

Going to the project homepage at:  https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/xlog/

one then clicks on Source Code, sees CVS, and then clicks on "Use CVS".  That leads to instuctions to check out the xlog module.  It turns out this is the wrong repo, and really it's xlog2, but one can't tell that from the Source Code tab, and it's not super obvious from the xlog module.

I would suggest creating branch "historical" in xlog2 rooted at HEAD and then on HEAD, delete everything and add a README that says "no, you want to check out this other repo".
