This makes me think : aren't branches in our CVS upside down ? I mean it
would be better if the stable branch (2.0.5-dev) was HEAD and the
development of the future version (2.1) occured in a separate branch.

It depends on what you want to do, "branch out" old releases and let their
branch "die" slowly, or "branch in" (merge) new ones when they become
mainstream.... (for example, if we think about branch-ins when 2.1 becomes
"main version" we'll have to merge it back into head)...

This makes sense from our developper point of view. But from the user's one, who occasionally wants to have the latest bug fixes from the stable branch, having to checkout a particular branch may not be that intuitive.

How is built the daily snapshot ? Couldn't we have daily snapshots for both branches ?

Personally, I prefer "branching out" old releases... But anyway when
subversion will come, there's not going to be this problem anymore :-)

Interesting... please tell us more about this !
