Would it be possible to add a XORG_7_1 tag to the CVS package whatever 
made it in the 7.1 tarball before the switch ?

I think that, from a maintainance point of view, not having this tag 
will make things harder (ie question like "was this bug fixed in 7.1 
already ?")

Otherwise, that's fine with me.
