It is maintainer-scripts/gcc_release, it tags the snapshot (which takes
over ten minutes - this is a heavily loaded machine and tagging involves
writing to all files in the tree) then checks out on the tag (also slow).
The established practice is that snapshots may sometimes be broken and
people using them should just wait for the next snapshot in that case.
However, it helps everyone using CVS if people (a) scrupulously test their
patches following the instructions, including on multiple platforms for
anything potentially destabilising and (b) check in all files that are
part of a patch, and only those files, having verified that the output of
cvs diff on those files includes the intended changes and no others, with
a single commit command naming those files, if possible.
