Note: everything which I committed on this branch has since been
committed on the "april" branch.

Since Bernhard fixed the problem with the "april" tag, the "august"
tag is redundant. It might be a good idea to delete the "august" tag
to avoid any possible confusion.

This isn't necessary.

I'm certain that nothing was removed from the *branch*. However, some
people may have committed changes which they thought were on this
branch, but were actually on the trunk.

A simple check is to look at the version of the changed file in the
output from "cvs log". If the version consists of two numbers, e.g. 
"1.9", then it's on the trunk. If it is on a branch, it will have at
least four numbers, e.g. "1.8.2.2".
