check out this url in FreeBSD's cvsweb.

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/pccard/pccard_cis.c?rev=1.15&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

the file was imported from NetBSD to FreeBSD, thus it has both $FreeBSD$
and $NetBSD$ in it. the $FreeBSD$ gives you info specific to it's
history in FreeBSD, while the $NetBSD$ preserves the information from
NetBSD. so we can see this came from version 1.10 of the file in
NetBSD, and was last edited there on 1998/12/29.
