That's a little vague, it actually should be

	cvs rtag -rversion-0_9_x version-0_9_1 mercury
	cvs rtag -rversion-0_9_x version-0_9_1 tests
	cvs rtag -rversion-0_9_x version-0_9_1 clpr

If you fail to to that...

Then this doesn't work very well, because there is no version-0_9_1, so
no files are checked out.  (Which is why last night's tests
failed).

Here's diff to the release notes about this.
