The tag presumably being $FreeBSD$? Is it specifically a CVS tag? As
opposed to a SVN tag?[*] If the former, then ever since the primary src
repo switched to SVN, all of the files under /etc will get a version
number bump as a consequence of generating a new release even if the
contents didn't change. Before SVN that didn't happen.
If the files are taken directly from SVN, then I think the revision
number in any file should remain the same in all release branches unless
the file contents are changed. Perhaps generating freebsd-update
changesets directly out of SVN rather than via CVS would go a long way
to avoiding this problem.
Cheers,
Matthew
[*] The pertinent difference being that CVS has version numbers with one
or more decimal points in them, whilst SVN uses an integer value.
