AFAIK, the only way to get it is to ask Lars. But it already has been investigated: ,----[ ] | From: Reiner Steib | Subject: cvs repository corruption (gnus-uu.el,v) | Newsgroups: gmane.emacs.gnus.general | Date: 2008-03-19 | | Hi, | | here's Andreas' analysis (translated from German; Andreas, please | correct me if necessary): | | | Several revisions are missing: | | | | $ grep -E '^[0-9.]+$' gnus-uu.el,v | sort | uniq -u | wc -l | | 44 | | | | These delta sections are listed, but the delta text sections, i.e. the | | log messages and the actual diffs, are missing. | | | | The first missing revision is 2.30 dated 1997-03-04 08:21:10, the | | newest 4.19 dated 1998-08-28 07:30:21. In between, some revisions are | | present: 3.5 - 3.21. | | Then, I asked if it is possible to replace the missing revisions by | dummy entries.

Unless someone comes up with a better solution, I'll ask Andreas to repeat the procedure (delete all revisions before 5.2) and ask Lars to install this file.
