With the standard output from cvs2cl, this is pretty obvious anyway, no?
I see entries like
2006-08-29 09:39 teodor
* contrib/tsearch2/: tsvector.c (REL8_1_STABLE), tsvector.c: Remove
pos comparison in silly_cmp_tsvector(): it is not a semantically
significant
so it seems to me that explicit mention of back-patching is mostly
redundant. (Of course, this requires the committer to commit all the
branches at about the same time, which I make an effort to do precisely
so that the cvs log looks nice. If some time elapses between patching
and back-patching then a mention in the commit message is definitely
needed.)
