It only goes back to 2002 for lib/init/init.sh. In 5.x, that file was
at src/general/init/init.sh.

Also, AFAICT you can't distinguish 5.x history from 6.x. There are SVN
branches for the 5.x CVS release branches, but not for the trunk.

There is no CVS server on cvs.intevation.de:2402 any more. Is
anonymous (pserver) CVS still functional?
