Not sure if this is for docs or hubs or ...?

The following file is duplicated in the mail archive.
Please remove the '.old' one.

Interesting.  On freefall, those files have different checksums and are
different in a peculiar way.

From where are you downloading these files? Are you sure that the host you use to retrieve 
these files is still up to date? It can easily be that the host is outdated and generates 
only old output. 

Thanks in advance!

cvsup11.freebsd.org. though it is experiencing gnats_misc_103814 at the
moment
so anyone using it will need to do so by its ip, 63.87.62.77.

yes. grabbing these supfile lines...
 *default compress delete use-rel-suffix
 mail-archive    release=current prefix=freebsd_mail-archive
from cvsup11 results in this evidence...

to be sure, i nuked checkouts.current and the two files in question,
did
cvsup -x -L 2 cvsup11.freebsd.org and the result is exactly the same
sums and
dates as before.

a local wrapper script also filters cvsup output for unknown messages
and
diffs the on disk file index to the checkouts.current index. nothing
unusal to
report from that.

fwiw, cvsup5 also has the same exact files, so i suspect the master
site is
the source. perhaps including any 'magic' that cvsupd may be applying
to
'peculiar ways'.

along with figuring out the root cause...
maybe increment the timestamps by a few seconds.
maybe unpack both of them, lint check both for message count and
mbox(5)
format, concatenate, recheck for total message count and mbox(5)
format, gzip
to correct name standard and mirror.

It would be nice if -x was documented in the cvsup manual page.
Least in my version (cvsup-without-gui) it's missing.
