Greetings,

  It appears that freedesktop.org used to host two Xserver CVS trees:
http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/xorg
http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/xserver/xserver/

  They apparently were used for different purposes, were not synced
(much) and were used by different projects. Now, "xorg/xserver" was
migrated to GIT, and serves as the base for the releases. The projects
which previously used "xserver" tree switched to these releases and
the GIT tree, just to find out that they lost some code.

  This is in particular the case for Familiar/OpenEmbedded projects,
and an example of the feature which was in "xserver" bit not in
"xorg/xserver", is xcalibrate kdrive server extension by Phil
Blundell,
http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/xserver/xserver/Xext/xcalibrate.c?hideattic=0&view=log .


  Please consider the issue of xcalibrate in particular (there's a
patch against GIT in openebedded repo, xcalibrate.patch), and in
general, the issue of the two trees, one of which appears to be
forsaken, while contains/may contain important changes.


Thank you,
