The last nail in the coffin for me was when, in a sleep deprived state, I got a little disoriented and built the M5 installer from the branch directory rather than the tag directory. Accidents happen.

A simple svn copy cheaply creates a new branch, keeps it clear its different than the tag, and gives someone a place to work with it. The possibility of that is small, so we'll just let the person create it when they wish to do something weird. :)

I don't understand the harm of leaving the branches - it costs nothing since it's already created, it keeps the history clear, and it gives someone an opportunity in the future to work with it. I know the probability of that is small, but people do weird things...

Can we kill this old branch?

  http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/branches/1.0-M5

We have a tag for it here.

  http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/tags/1_0_M5

And can we also agree that we don't leave branches hanging around after every release unless that is planned to be an actual branch point?
